ABOUT ME

Hi you all,
I am currently living and working in Paris, from january until july 2010. I can give you tips about my hometown, Lisbon, in Portugal, if you'd like but no can do about the hosting part of it.

I am interested in music, cinema (which I both consume avidly), and literature. If you'd like to have a nice discussion about portuguese authors I am up for it. Or we can talk about something else. Cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have already hosted a few people mainly from Spain but also two girls from Sweden and I think that Couchsurfing is a brilliant idea. I intend to have either my sofa or a bedroom available depending if my flat mates are at home or not. I am now in Paris so only when I come back to Lisbon, in July, will I be able to host you. See you then.

Interests

I am very interested in reading, I read a lot, I go to the local library twice a month to get some books. Mostly, I read epics, romance and historical books. I also enjoy listening to music, here is my profile at last.fm: http://www.lastfm.pt/user/blimunda

I also see a ton of films, among my favorites are: Woody Allen, Gus van Sant, Hitchcock, Lars von Trier, James Gray, David Gordon Green, Bergman, Clint Eastwood, Dardenne brothers, Coen brothers and so on...

I also love japanese culture hence I read a lot of manga and see a lot of anime, one of my personal favorites of all time is Maison Ikkoku.
