About Me

I'm a 24 year old male born in Portugal, but just completed the first year of a Master's degree in Journalism in Denmark. Now, I'm living in London for the second year. I love travelling and discovering out of the radar genuine places in the cities that I visit, while avoiding most of the main tourist destinations. I'm open-minded and a very easy-going person, easy to deal with. I'm interested in what people have to say, I enjoy good conversations while having a beer or a coffee but also partying until the sun comes up, once in a while. I'm very adaptable and easy to please.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience my destinations from the perspective of the locals and not from the tourist perspective. I'm looking for a host that could show me around the city, if possible and tell me where the cool and hidden places are and what locals usually do.

Also, I want to collect good karma and host good people before I go back to travelling.

Interests

I'm passionate about people, culture, travelling, news, music, movies, photography, and TV shows. I love a great healthy debate about people and life, especially with people with opposing world views.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw the Northern Lights in Iceland during a blizzard that almost got my car stuck in the road in the middle of nowhere.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Portuguese language and basic photography skills. I want to learn more about the Culture of the places I visit: the people, their habits and the places where they hang out.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can gladly cook and clean up after myself and the common areas of the house.
