Hello :) I'm a Swiss-born Finnish resident of Portuguese origin.
Some people have described me as an introspective extrovert; others as an energetic introvert; and therefore I'd describe myself as an ambivert who likes exploring and learning and new stuff.
I like discovering new places (traveling), faces (meeting new people) and ideas (meaningful conversation, cultural exchange, etc).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In a nutshell: I want to connect with more people around the globe.

When I travel I'm not necessarily interested in *being* a tourist (ex: taking a mandatory picture in a landmark, eating at a hotel buffet every day, or buying a t-shirt saying "I Love [city]") - what I really want is to experience new realities.
Meeting locals, sharing a beer or a coffee, getting to know their thoughts and their lives, etc is much more emotionally rewarding than getting a fridge magnet souvenir.
