Software engineer, who studied to help colonize space and always wished to become a movie director.
Fell in love with karate since a little boy, enjoys cooking, drinking a cold beer during summer and *trying* to play guitar with his friends while sitting by the bay of a river.

Yeah... can't get more "cliché" than that!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just can't stay in the same place for too long, I have a huge need in meeting new people and new ways of living. There's nothing better than knowing and "living" a city as a local (besides a good beer... or a flamenco guitar solo...).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

"Back in the old days", I competed in dozens of Karate tournaments and won some of them. As someone who is still afraid of bees, or birds (damn you, Hitchcock!), that should mean something.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can try to teach you how to pronounce my name, that will probably be helpful when you come to Portugal!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you how to cook some portuguese or italian dishes. I can also teach you some self-defense techniques, always useful!
