CURRENT MISSION

The world is your wave. Couchsurf it!

ABOUT ME

I am originally from New Jersey, U.S.A. After finishing my MBA in London and Thailand (where I surfed and hosted extensively) I'm now working for a multi national media company in NYC. Although my job keeps me pretty inundated, I like to think I'm a full-time employee, and part-time world traveler =). I'm 100% Portuguese and I enjoy meeting people from all over the world, sharing stories, and seeing what this world has to offer.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In all the countries I’ve visited, I remember the sites, people, food, experiences, etc. they are a big part of how I remember my experience. The opportunity to give that feeling back to other fellow travelers and be a positive reflection of how they remember America, New York/New Jersey and the American culture is such a fulfilling feeling.
