CURRENT MISSION

To discover.

ABOUT ME

I dream a lot, very often I believe I'm a romantic by nature.
I enjoy learning as much as I can, but my affective memory is a lot better than my cognitive one.
I usually don't enjoy places with loud music, because it's impossible to talk. I like to try new flavors.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe humankind does not evolve as such, it merely becomes more sophisticated for good and bad purposes. As all things do, it tends towards balance or rupture. So I try to be on the good side, towards balance and against rupture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can guide you through Lisbon or Nazare, depending on where I'll be at the time; most of the time I'm in Lisbon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed in Paris with several hosts and all went well. I haven't hosted yet. I've taken people to see Lisbon.

Interests

Multimedia design, watch design, music (playing, recording, listening), making handicrafts, reading (and rarely I write), movies, photography, museography, inner and outer contemplation, painting, internet, etymology, phenomenology, the way all things relate to each other, observing behaviors, very occasionally videogames, the smells and the sounds around me, dreams, long hairs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I was walking with a friend of mine in Nazare, at 6am. We had been playing cards and the village was very foggy, we couldn't see more than 2 meters ahead. We were walking by the road close to the town's exit, the lamps gave the mist a sepia tone. Suddenly 2 little kids came out of nowhere, slowly riding bicycles, dressed all in white (t-shirt and shorts), right in the middle of the road but on the wrong side. And soon they were left, as if leaving town. It was surreal.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach my native language of course, I can guide couchsurfers through places I know, I can teach guitar to beginners (but I'm left-handed, so bring your own guitar!), I can teach some photoshop or illustrator trick maybe; I can introduce people to the world of music production and virtual instruments. I can teach people how to work with clay.

I'm interested about new flavors, foreign domestic habits, languages.
