About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Avoid getting too serious. Disrupt as possible.

ABOUT ME
I'm Portuguese living here since October 2017 after 16 years in China.

I make films. Did a lot of other things before.

I love traveling and laugh. And food. And a good wine. And books or just stories.

PHILOSOPHY
wabi sabi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interesting way of meeting people. Since there is no money involved I feel that it makes it more real.
At least there is a genuine will/need to host and be hosted. Sometimes my door is open, sometimes is not. Sometimes I want to stay in a stranger's place, sometimes I don't. This is also freedom.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
As a guest, not much. As a host, a bit. Mostly on record here.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few but probably my scooter ride from Da Nang to Hanoi via Laos (all the way to Dien Bien Phu) was a journey to remember.

Or going through Sierra Madre in Luzon, Ph, with a very normal urban car.

Moving here it's amazing in itself also

Teach, Learn, Share

I've only learned 3 things so far:

Everything changes, all the time. No matter what.
When we decide we are alone. Always.
Work is what we do when we don't know how to do anything else. Or can't.

What I Can Share with Hosts

It depends
