About Me

I'm an adventure loving biologist that works on wolf conservation in the North of Portugal

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The main reason is, I like meeting new people and the vibe of people that travel are one of the best ones I've ever found. I think it's the taste for adventure and seeing new things that I find interesting. Some of the best friendships I have are with people that I've met while travelling and with whom I've only been for a few days.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's hard to pinpoint the best, there are so many books that marked me for one reason or the other. I think bookseries I will have to be cliché and say Harry Potter, the Philosopher's stone was the first book I ever read and that means a lot to me. In a totally different genre, 1984 by George Orwell is one of the most pleasurable "and scary" reads I had. And of course I can't talk about the books I liked without referencing Tolkien's work, the man was a genius. Anyway I like almost all kinds of books and films so if you want to talk literature or cinema as long as you stay away from twilight we should be fine :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's very tough to single out one thing, I've had some amazing adventures in this last few years. I will say volunteering with sea turtles in Cabo Verde was one of the best things that happens in my life. It helped me opening my eyes to the world and to a more adventurous life style besides providing me with some very good friendships that still last to this day
