About Me

I enjoy nature, sports, and tranquility, and I avoid cities and parties. I'm a surfer and dreamer, passionate about a more cooperative world. I believe in the gift economy and helping others without expecting anything in return.

I’m currently working to save up for my dream of creating a free learning facility focused on non-violent communication, permaculture ethics, and self-improvement. Kinda what I already do when I host couchsurfers. I love teaching breathwork, meditation, surfing, healthy lifestyle, yoga, and permaculture ethics. I ran such holistic camps in Portugal for 2 years.

Couchsurfing is a beautiful way for me to get in touch with people and share what I can share.

I go to sleep around 9 pm and wake up at 6am, so if you stay with me please be considerate of my routine, it gives me a lot of peace.

I don't live right in the city center of Aljezur but in a small rural place called "Cerca dos Pomares", which is about 1 hour by foot from town. There's no public transport or supermarkets here. I got a bike you can use. My home is very simple, but essentially all we need.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing describes the essence of life: Giving and receiving. We need to grow back together again.
I want to host people eager to share this spirit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One? Not enough!
I travelled for 10 winters making them summer to go surfing in the best places of the world.
I've helped to build a house with natural materials and a bunch of random people in Australia.
I ran fully free all-inclusive camps teaching surfing, yoga, meditation and breathwork for 2 years in Portugal.
And of course I started being here on couchsurfing and sharing my space with strangers that became friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

Life is a lesson. I think we can all teach and learn from each other and more importantly learn and grow together. I'm happy to share what I have!
