I was born and raised in Portugal but I have been living in Australia long enough to call it home. I work from home as a computer programmer and part time masseuse.
I'm a young spirit, quite open and open minded, social, positive, respectful and easy going. I enjoy the little things in life and I try to make the most of each day.

As a host, I try my best to make my guests feel comfortable and enjoy their stay as much as possible. I am very open, easy to talk to and I usually get along the best with people who are the same. I prefer guests to treat me as a friend than as a host.
I want guests who want to spend time together rather than just looking for a place to sleep. And I also prefer medium/long stays rather than just one or two nights. I like to have enough time to connect with my guests. I've made some good friendships with previous guests and hope to do more.
Don't be afraid to send a request for a long period. We can adjust if needed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

On top of that, I love Brisbane and I want to share it with travelers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Great Barrier Reef was quite an amazing experience!
But I'd say that the most amazing thing I've done was to get in a plane to come to a country on the other side of the planet and where I knew no one at all... And I don't regret it a single bit! :-)

Teach, Learn, Share

I quite enjoy having intelligent conversations where I can teach and learn. I know a bit about many things and I can easily absorb what others have to teach me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm not a great cook, especially out of my environment, but I'll definitely help with the cleaning and any chores I can help with.
