About Me

I consider myself a friendly guy, a better listener than speaker, who loves meeting new people and sharing great moments. Couchsurfing is about sharing, so I am very flexible. Before suggesting something to do, I would love to know a bit more about you so that I can personalize my suggestions.

Let me leave you with a funny request: if you are leaving me a reference, please write it in your home language, even if it uses different characters. It would be great to have all different languages on my profile.

I am totally in love with Acrobatics and AcroYoga, practicing for the past 6 years, and always ready to connect with others who share this passion. If you would like to try, don't be shy—let me know. If it seems boring to you, tell me—I promise I won't be offended.

Love to drive, and available (when have time) to show around.

My house is not a hotel, neighter a hostel, but I would like to provide to my guests (friends) a pleasant stay, therefore please note:

- I live in the south side of Lisbon, so be aware that to go to my house, you will need to take a 20' ferry trip, the cost of a ticket is 2,45€. But is a very pleasant voyage. In between the station and my house you can walk, and enjoy 15 min next to the river, with a beautifull sight of Lisbon.

- I provide clean sheets, a blanket and a towel. My house haven't central heating, so in case you feel cold, please let me know, I can provide extra blankets.

- I can share a meal, some fruit, but everyone is responsible for his food.

Some notes about me as a host:

- I have a dog, so be careful, in case you have any allergy to pets. By the way, my dog is cuddle addicted, so he can be very boring.

- I am allergic to cigares and smokes, so please don't smoke around.

- Wednesdays and Fridays, I organize some JAM's, so I maybe not available after work to hang out.

- Fully vaccinated x3 💉🧬💉🧬💉🧬 -

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new persons. I love to share life stories, experiences and happy moments.

If you AcroYoga practitioner, I am happy to meet you and to present you to our community in Lisbon.

Also, my better skill is DISHWASHER in the kitchen!
