*Now in Madrid* Hey, I'm Diogo! I'm Brazilian and have been living in Lisbon since 2017. I work for an Estonian software company as a Customer Success Manager, which basically means I'm responsible for some customers we have in many different countries in the world. Our logo is a cat. I am happy to live in a city that provides so much, from cultural events to open-air spaces, the beach, and nature; diverse cuisine, and a relatively good work-life balance. If you send me a request, share a book/movie/music recommendation :) My Instagram for photos of my trips: @diogodoc

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing
People here are good. I've been a member for over a decade and first connected with people in my exchange in Australia. Later I got the chance to host and be a guest but kept on meeting people to hang out and be friends, not only in Lisbon but everywhere I visit.
Musique, films et livres
Music: I do singing and piano classes. Going slow, but consistently! Björk, Gorillaz, Michael Jackson; Tame Impala; Theophilus London; Childish Gambino; Kaytranada; Tin Man, Hunee; SBTRKT; Anderson Paak; Toro y Moi; Robyn; Justice; LA Priest; Yaeji; Bonobo; Little Dragon... as some examples Also a wide range of pop, techno; house and Brazilian sounds as well. Movies: Jodorowsky is my favorite moviemaker. Some favorites include Danza de la Realidad; Children of Heaven; City of God; And Then We Danced; Perfect Blue. I kicked off 2021 watching a lot of movies and have using Letterboxd a lot to find recommendations and update my watchlist. Books: I have recently finished "How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics"; and very proud to say I've read two books in Spanish in the past year!
Une chose incroyable que j'ai faite
Bungee jumping and skydiving. Happy I did when I was 19. Seeing the Taj Mahal.
Enseigner, apprendre, partager
- As a Portuguese native speaker, I'm happy to help whoever is learning it or just curious. - I come from a very rich land in terms of culture and I'm always happy to talk about the place I come from and Brazil in general - I love languages. I speak some, want to speak more, and love to learn even a few words of a new language. - Tell me your stories and tell you mine.
Ce que je peux offrir à mes hôtes
My recommendations of the city and hopefully quality time together (joined by friends, maybe) at some of my favorite places in Lisbon.
Mes centres d'intérêt
When I go out I'm usually sitting with friends at the park or somewhere eating and drinking, and here and there we party too. I try to swim and do yoga every week and sometimes play tennis too. I love the idea of cultural exchange, to experience places and see the world from different perspectives. (as cliché as it may sound, but it's true).
