About Me

I’m an easygoing person who enjoys sports, good food, wine, and spending time outdoors. I love traveling, discovering new places, and meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds.

I often participate in running races and marathons — mostly as the perfect excuse to celebrate afterward with a well-deserved beer 🍺. I practice slacklining and enjoy cycling whenever I can.

Languages are also part of my travels: I speak Spanish fluently, Portuguese comfortably, English at a conversational level, and a bit of German.

I appreciate meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and learning something new from every person I meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I believe traveling is about people, not only places. I enjoy offering guests a comfortable and welcoming stay while sharing experiences, stories, and local perspectives.

For me, Couchsurfing is an opportunity to connect with residents and travelers, learn about different cultures, and create meaningful exchanges that go beyond traditional tourism.

Interests

enjoy staying active and practicing different sports, especially outdoor activities that allow me to explore new places and stay connected with nature. At the same time, I also like going out at night — discovering local bars, live music, good conversations, and enjoying the atmosphere of each city after sunset.

I believe the best trips combine adventure during the day and good social moments at night.
