Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I love to meet challenging people that bring perspective and new ideas to my tiny subjective horizon. I used to rent a room in my apartment through airbnb, I had great experiences and met wonderful people. Two of them became friends for life and actually moved to Lisbon, and I like to think I helped on that decision. Now that I have a regular roommate, the house is too quiet, and I miss some action of coming in and out all the time! Plus, I entered a self therapy based on taking an airplane every two months, to overcome panic to fly, and I'm running out of friends around the world to crash at. ;) So I decided to join Couchsurfing, because I love the idea of sharing couches, cups of tea and nice chats for the pleasure of giving and smiling.
Music, Movies, and Books
I hate the word "favourite", always refused myself to answer to these questions!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Amazing? Not much... But I like to think this will change before I die! Just have to figure out some plan... hopefully soon...
Teach, Learn, Share
To learn, definitely! To share, always!
What I Can Share With Hosts
My curiosity, my smile, my quietness. As a host I can offer you my love for Lisbon, my inside tips and advices, and my company around if my work allows me to.
My Interests
I love to find out new little details even on my everyday walk from home to work, always try to follow a different path, or simply cross the street, keep up the curiosity, never settle. I don't see things like black or white and rarely take an extreme position. As a southern (we Portuguese like to think ourselves as mediterraneans even though we only have the Atlantic coast), I love to eat and drink around a warm crowded table for hours. I work too many hours and quit regular exercise years ago, becoming a lazy fat pig (terrible image, I know, not that consistent with reality, but still), so I'm in desperate need of meeting people who help me change my lifestyle ;)
