ABOUT ME
Well, I'm honoured to announce that finaly I am just... ME!
I'm very sociable when I meet interesting people. I can be very distant when people is not interesting and/or when they spend lot of time dedicated to small talks, like talking about other people's lives.
I love the mean of party, but when the event really deserves that name. A group of people listen music and getting drunk or drugged to get drunk and drugged, is not a party to me. Is just people spending time without knowing why. And I really take Time very serious. We can't have it back.
For that reason, I rather prefer to be at home alone, making nothing, being DJ of myself, watching the rain on the window or reading a book, drinking wine with cheese.
That's me! Hug me or leave me.
I hate Tourists. That kind of people that only travels to show something to others or to tell their selves that they are more interesting than others. It's not the countries you've visited that make you more interesting: is the way you live, feel, see, watch, smell and be available for People (I mean Human Beings and not a group of persons) and the diferences that each will find in each place where you are. You can be a traveler in your own city. And you can be an @sshole even when you have 30 stamps in your passport.
For that reason, I don't like CS's travellers that use a template to write the same long message for every hosts, pretending they are interested to meet him, when the only thing they want is a couch (no matter who is the couch's owner). In other words, if you are reading my profile and you honestly want to meet me as a traveler and a future friend, just send me a simple message and I'm sure I will feel if you want to share something with me or if you just need my couch to earn some money.

In other words: please, just tell me why do you want to meet me. What is your Why behind your kind words.

I born in Braga. I lived in Porto for more than 20 years (and still being my beloved city). Now, I live in Lisbon, where I try to live my own life as a traveller. I do not use a car (I have one, but it's so rare to use it, that everytime I want, I never remember where I parked it for the last time). Instead, I ride everyday a scooter motorbike, that is the best way to move in a city, know it corners, parking everywere and to go to the beach. I have an helmet for you. And I should say as a former motorcycle racer, when I ride outside the circuits, I'm a very skilled and cool rider :)

PHILOSOPHY
I rather prefer a Famous Drunk than an Anonymous Alchoolic.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Because I do believe in People. Because I love the sensation of sharing the intimacy of your own home with someone you just met. I call it Flash Intimacy. And someday I will dedicate time to a Photo Project about this.

Centres d'intérêt

Photography, Theater, Food, Cooking, Eating, Travel, Music, Wine, Design, Vintage Stuff, Cinema, Motorbikes,... Share a table.

I love to be at the table. The true intimacy don't happen in bed, but at the table.

• wine
• cheese
• partying
• drinking

• music

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Since I really love Music and I already don't need it to build my identity, my neighbours use to listen: Classical Music, Progressive House, Acid Jazz, Fado, Swing, Tango, Son Cubano, Dance Music, Funk, R&B, Soul, Gospel, Bossa Nova,...

No borders. Just quality and coolness.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I really listen and watch in people's eyes when they tell me something that's important for them.

Yes. This shouldn't be amazing. But it is, nowadays.
