ABOUT ME

I'm a happy, easy going and idealistic guy :) I live with my wife Lesia and currently finishing a master's in cognitive science. I spend the rest of my time working on different projects, reading, learning, talking, debating, meeting new people. I especially enjoy meeting people with different perspectives on the world.

What else do I like to do? I like to go out and see a good concert. I love to meet old friends and to make new ones. I like to write and I like to play guitar. I love to hike and camp and to be surrounded by nature. I love to eat a good meal and to drink some good wine ;) I like sports and physical activity. I try to be politically and socially active. I love art and cultural events. I like to think of ways to live free and according to my principles.

PHILOSOPHY

You only live once. Make the most of it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love Couchsurfing because it makes it very easy for me to meet a lot of local people while traveling. As a host, it gives me the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. A wonderfull experience up to this day, definetly a positive in my life :)

Interests

I think that literature is probably my greatest interest. But science, politics, philosophy, art, history, mythology, cultures, activism and music are topics that draw my attention.
I like to talk over a coffee or a beer, read, watch movies, see a concert, go to the theather, take walks, camp, travel and love partying ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Many different things, Federico Fellini, Hayao Miyazaki, Akira Kurosawa, Stanley Kubrick, Coen Brothers, Tarantino, are directors that I like.

I sort of wander through various kinds of music. I like rock, trance, techno... I Love portuguese and brazilian music.

I've got a deep passion for literature and it's hard to name favourites, but Jack Kerouac, Charles Bukowski, Hemingway, Hermann Hess, Kafka, Fernando Pessoa, Mikhail Bulgakov, José Saramago, Miguel Torga, António Lobo Antunes, Dostoeyvsky, Albert Camus, Milan Kundera, and Haruki Murakami are authors that come to mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'll tell you when we meet ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a very curious person interested in a lot of subjects and I'm always willing to share what I know. I'd like to learn more of ukranian and french languages, and I'm always interested in learning all kinds of culture and art. I think I can be useful teaching Portuguese, English, Science or playing the guitar. Can cook a couple of portuguese dishes for you too.
