Hey, Im Leo, a Brazilian based and studying in Lisbon and sometimes travelling around europe. I work as a lawyer in a public university and am doing a master at this moment in Lisbon.

Some qualities I could say about me: I am open-minded, excited about everything, happy with life, always in a good mood (sometimes exhausted haha!), spreading good energy, love making new friends, getting to know new cultures, cooking and learning new dishes.

No room for racists, xenophobes, Zionists, sexists, and harassers.
- LGBTQI+ Friendly and safe space 🏳‍🌈❤️.

My response rate dropped to 66% because I stopped replying to some nonsensical messages. So I'm not going to ignore you if you send me a serious and honest message.

If you’re visiting Lisbon, I can give you tips and maybe a tour if I have free time. I can take you for the cheapest beer here haha! I love life in portugal, enjoying lisboa, the beaches, mountains, nature, the historical cities around..

IMPORTANT: When I can host, some limits, like: 2 or 3 nights, more than that, inform the reasons that I will think about the case. It is also important to respect the dates, times and justify any unforeseen circumstances as soon as possible. For now: **Temporarily unable to receive people.** (blame the global housing crisis in touristy cities)
