CURRENT MISSION

Traveling and writing about it on travel blogs www.almadeviajante.com and www.hotelandia.pt

ABOUT ME

I travel a lot, because I'm fortunate to do what i love: traveling is part of my work.

I don't need much to be happy and have a good time. I travel alone most of the times, but I love meeting new people everywhere I go. Most of the times good memories (and good stories) come from simple moments like sitting down on a street and talk to this old men, have a coffee somewhere and see what happens next...

I love cooking, and I like to try local food everytime I travel. I believe gastronomy is a big part of a culture.

Professionaly, I'm a bit of a travel writer, a photographer, tour leader and professional traveler. Communication is my world (and I guess the world is my home).

I did two round the world trips, in 2004/05 and 2012 :)

PHILOSOPHY

It's better to regret something you did than to regret something you didn't do.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the CS concept (i've also been a member of HC for many years) and host people anytime I can. I try to meet local CS members everytime i travel, specialy in big cities.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing to regret so far. Hosting people and surfing their couches has been a great experience so far.

教，学，和分享

I love photography and can spend hours looking at travel photos and talk about travel experiences. For people dreaming of doing a round-the-world trip, I might be able help in the first stage of organizing one. I know the answers to many questions people often ask about a RTW trip, as i did one a few years ago (during 14 months). Best advice I have: GO!!!

Also, I love cooking and trying local food. I believe gastronomy is an important part of the traveling experience. Let's share.
