CURRENT MISSION

I would like to know people from all over the world with different cultures and share exciting experiences

ABOUT ME

I am responsible, creative and opened to different cultures and ideas.

I spent so many years dreaming about travels! I would like to travel in Arabic and other exotic countries.

I like to dance (Reggae, Bellydance, African, Hip Hop...).

I also love fashion design, make jewellery, paint, learn new things, laugh and love.

I avoid eating what's not healthy but I love food.

I don't smoke, I don't drink too much and I don't waste my money with drugs. That's why I look very young!

I think I am a friendly person with good interpersonal skills.

PHILOSOPHY

Let's follow the dreams and our heart.
My philosophy of life is based on principles such as loyalty, generosity, justice, honesty and friendship. I try to make the others happy and I take care of the ones I love most.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to travel more and meet different people from everywhere.

In this moment I am not at home and I cannot host people in Lisbon.

My first experience it was in January 2008 was when I stayed with a really nice guy in Amesterdam. He showed some nice places and we had a dinner with some friends. He was fantastic and I had a great experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have too much experience yet. I just hosted one person until now and it was a very good experience.

I shared my appartment with many people and I still keep contact with some friends that lived with me before.

Sometimes I meet people from Couchsurfing to have a coffee, a dinner or go out together.

Interests

I like to sing and I would like to be a member of a band.

I love photography, painting and obviously, traveling and meet interesting people.

I enjoy to meet people with interesting conversations.

I am a kind of person that likes to take care and help people.

I like to play with ideas and words.

I used to practice Karate at some years ago.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recorded the second voice in a CD from a guy that I met in London. Mick´s voice and music is worderful. He was singing in the Metro and I asked to sing with him. I just had 30 minutes to record the Chorus from this song because I had to run to go to the airport. It was an amazing experience!!!
You can do the download of my music: http://www.myspace.com/manusmanus - link Lye Down Lye Down (in the end isn't my voice but it is very nice).
