About Me

Just can host women, please. At the moment I am locking for a sofa/bed in Paris and then, I can offer a sofa/bed in my house in London.
Hi, I speak Portuguese, fluent in Spanish and I also speak English, having living in London for several years.
I am a photographer/photojournalist for media in Brazil and Portugal and aTour Guide in London and some other places in England for Portuguese and Spanish speakers since 2014.
I am currently living in South-West London and available for a couple of hours to show London from the most varied perspectives and personal tastes, because there is not just one London, there are many Londons! All of them very interesting, from my experience as a tour guide here. Someone known already said: "If you are tired of London, you are tired of live."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I created this profile years ago, greatly influenced by a great friend and Couchsurfing enthusiast, Moira, Moira_Geneva, who you can ask for references about me, as she has stayed in houses I have lived in Nice, South of France, and in London. However, in recent years, for reasons beyond my control or even due to forgetfulness, I have not been using this platform much, but now I AM HERE again :)
I am a person who above all likes to meet other people, cultures and ways of life. I love to travel for all the reasons that people normally like to, to open horizons and knowledge, to build new, more supportive and humanistic perceptions of what travel, rather than tourist tours, can provide.
Being in life and enjoying it to the fullest, in my opinion, also involves inspiring trips both for landscapes and a certain “escape”, as well as to keep your eyes, ears and soul open to the vast human landscape as well.

Interests

I'm interested in art, culture, history, (love to see and go "one more time" to the wonderful museums of London) trekking especially in nature, gastronomy and wine, cinema, poetry, dance... Whatever good things the moment brings.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm eclectic, I like rock from the 60s, 70s, 80s, jazz from all eras and styles, classical music. My favorite bands in the UK? The Clash, The Rolling Stones, The Cure, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd...
I consider myself a film buff, I really like the Nouvelle Vague, Scandinavian cinema, especially Bergman, Tarkovsky, and one of my favorites: Fassbinder, the German director, not forgetting to mention Woody Allen, etc.
