At the moment I am not hosting.

-----

A lot has change this year. I still love to travel but I am putting morals in front of everything else so I only want to connect with people that believe in a Free Palestine and that understand how colonialism and zionism have been fucking everything up, including our minds.
And even though we are living crazy times this is my message:

The World show us that is worth to stick around if we are brave enough to do better, to be better...

I am a philosopher at heart, but I am, of course, more than that. While my profile is a bit too philosophical, I have to add that I am also one of the people you will meet with the loudest laughter.
That said, back to the philosophical side:

I am everything and nothing*
Some days introvert, some days extrovert, talkative but love the silence, funny and serious, quiet and loud, spontaneous and organized...

Nature is my god*
Love adventures*
Trying to be a free soul and spirit in a world that cage us since our first breath.

Have a love/hate relationship with humanity. My thing is to do the opposite of what the majority is doing. Sometimes is cool other times is just stupid, but I do it anyway.

My mind is everywhere, but my body goes slow. I love to observe all the details about being alive. And if I can, I love to live a little bit of everyone's lives.
Wherever I am, I am home. Thats probably my biggest achievement.

You can think is all about how many countries you visited but not really. Its about how many great laughters, how many hugs, how many magical conversations, how many beautiful souls you met. Dont go fast, you learn nothing. Go slow, enjoy the moment, get to know the people, learn the language, be present.
Being present is one of the most difficult but yet fulfilling things of our times. Tenho dito. Ah ah As I said philosopher at heart.

Should I say that I am a vegetarian? I am. I dont mind people with different perspectives and ideas about this but this is a decision for life so I appreciate respect and understanding.

Peace*

Fernando Pessoa

"The answer must be in the attempt." - Before Sunrise (Movie)

"Proof that all the differences between us and all the forces that try to divide us...they will never exceed the power of love to unite us." - Sense 8 ( Tv series)

"There is so much peace to be found." ❤
Kae Tempest (Song)

“Love should be like breathing. It should be just a quality in you wherever you are, with whomsoever you are. Even if you are alone, love goes on overflowing from you. It is not a question of being in love with someone – it is a question of being love.” Osho

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I dont know how to be happy without deep connections with people. When I travel I need to have those connections with the locals, thats the only way that makes sense to me.
I cannot thank enough to all the amazing people that I met through CS.
Its always my wish to see them again one day!

Now as a host I hope I can show you how beautiful Lisbon is and share with you a bit of the Portuguese culture and language, even though I have to warn you that I am a lot different from many Portuguese people and not a role model of the Portuguese culture in almost any way.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Not too long ago a Couchsurfer that I hosted and loved to meet asked me a really interesting question: "How many lives have you lived?" I kept counting. Oh so many! Would not change a thing:

To achieve to walk more than 200 kms by myself in the south-West coast of Portugal*

Traveled India alone for 1 month and 2 weeks*

Survived 4 months working in a cruise with no days off*

Felt what is the meaning of Paradise, at 7 am in a deserted beach in Costa Rica*

Lived for one week in a self-sustainable community in Portugal, I learned so much that I cannot put everything into words*

Got lost in Brazil for more than 2 months, so many adventures, so many amazing people, so many life lessons...

Saw the night sky in Namibia, never saw so many stars in my life. So beautiful!

The sunrise on top of dune 45 in Namibia!

The safaris in South Africa and Namibia! All those beautiful wild animals...

Published a book. Still wondering how, when, who... But at the same time so happy about it!

Watched the sunset in Albania while listening to "The Nights" by Aviici. Such a beautiful moment.

Survived the lowest temperature in my life (-17 degrees) in Norway.

Fell in love with Lofoten, Norway and saw an aurora!!

Understood that traveling has much more meaning when we do it to hug friends or people we enjoyed meeting before.

It was only one, right? xD
