Born in Lisbon, Portugal, since very early, I can remember falling in love with art and history, mainly due to my parents, who would take me to see places whenever we could, opening my mind to different cultures and their history. Also, my family comes from several different places and backgrounds... Perhaps that does explain a lot. I've always took a particularly interest at drawing and painting, which led me to study Architecture, and afterwards, Filmmaking. I've also had the opportunity to work abroad for some time, mainly in Czech Republic.

Now, I'm back to Portugal, but whenever there's a chance or opportunity I pick up my backpack and there I go!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Once I read that "the frog in a well doesn't know the ocean"... I couldn't agree more, and that sums up pretty much everything.

Right now I can't help you with a couch at my place, but very soon that situation might change!
