I'm finishing now my thesis about Portuguese poetry. I'm a bibliophile, I do really love books. I play oboe in a band, since 2005 - that's one of the main reasons for hearing so much music, of multiple sorts. I love cinema, paintings and architecture.
Always up for a very good conversation. Or for a good walk on a mountain, deep in the nature, on a landscape. I love to laugh.

PHILOSOPHY: Live and let live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going to do a Inter Rail in May (2017), all month long, and i'm looking forward to meet new people, sharing ideas, books and readings, experiences. The trip will be set in the Balkans.
