My name is Hugo and I'm 22 years old. I am Portuguese from Aveiro, a very cute city near the Atlantic Ocean in Northern Portugal. I did my Bachelor's in Translation (Portuguese - French - Spanish) meaning I'm actually a translator :D and now I'm on my Master's Degree in Tourism Management and Planning so I can be a professional... tourist! xD I love to discover new cultures and that's why I did my first Erasmus in Liège, Belgium, for 6 months in 2023 and this year I did my second Erasmus in Padova, Italy, for another 6 months. I also did short term Erasmus+ projects (+/- 1 week) in Romania, Türkiye, Latvia and Sicily. I'm very interested and passionate by Cultural Tourism and Cultural Heritage, especially intangible aspects such as popular songs and dances, all this because I am a folk dancer since a long time ago. I also love aviation! I use FlightRadar24 all the time which helped me knowing a lot of geography. I can easily identify the aircraft model. :D I can speak fluently French and Spanish, besides Portuguese, and English of course. I'm also learning Italian and Chinese now!

我为什么使用Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing looks like a very good way to meet new people from all over the world. In February 2025 I hosted 2 French girls in my house because they needed to catch a bus early and they didn't live in the city center like I do, so I thought: "I have space to receive people, how interesting would be to host more poeple here?". Furthermore, this could also be an advantage for me to practice a different type of Tourism, closer to the local community!
音乐、电影与书籍
I am a pop lover, nowadays I'm very into Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga (went to her concert in November in Paris) and Dua Lipa. :D My last readings were actually papers for my thesis :D Besides that I love travel literature (to inspire myself).
我做过的一件令人惊叹的事
Start travelling alone by plane with 12 years old to visit relatives in other countries (I'm very proud of it hehe).
我能与房东分享的
