ABOUT ME

I'm a recently graduated young architect and live with my Girlfriend Clara in Estoril, near Lisbon, a very nice area with lots of sun and beaches! Me and Clara have been together for 2,5 years, and before that we already were best friends (we know each other for 8 years now!).
Architecture is not only a profession, but also a passion for me! I love living, studying and looking at buildings and public space!
Watching movies, going to art exhibitions and concerts are very important activities: they excite and stimulate me sensorial, sentimental and intelectually!
I play Judo since I was 5! I've always loved doing sports!
I love to travel! I've made 3 inter-rails in Europe, visiting many of the main cities, and lived in Buenos Aires for a year (in a College interchange program similar to erasmus), having traveled for a month in Argentina (where there are amazing landscapes!).
In half of my trips I made, I had my girlfriend's company - we get along perfectly while traveling, as we have very similar interests and both want to see and get to know everything we can!

PHILOSOPHY

Be Happy,
Be opened to new experiences,
Be tolerant,
Be dedicated to whatever I am doing (work, friendship, hobbies, etc)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Until the moment, none! But I'm very interested in getting in contact with local cultures and meet nice and interesting people!
I've enjoyed a lot to travel with people I met in hostels in Europe and Argentina. But the couchsurfing experience must be diferent, as I will get to meet local people instead of foreigners that are traveling just like me!
