About Me

Hi! I’m a friendly 30-year-old Portuguese guy, goofy and always looking for adventures with locals. I work as a programmer , but whenever I have free time, I try to travel and discover new places, cultures, and people.

I’m easygoing, open-minded, and love sharing stories over a good meal or drink. (By the way, I’m the little guy with glasses in the black T-shirt 🙂).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m was new to Couchsurfing, and I saw it as an opportunity to live a more authentic travel experience.

I don’t just want to see the “tourist spots” — I’m genuinely interested in local routines, food, music, traditions, jobs, politics, dance, and the hidden charms of villages and cities that only locals can show.

A good friend recommended Couchsurfing to me, and it feels like the perfect match for the kind of travel I’m looking for.
