Portuguese creative living between Lisbon and the world.

I'm a copywriter who's collected stories across 7+ countries – from the chaos of Cairo to Stockholm's minimalism, Budapest's thermal baths to Málaga's coastal charm.

When I'm not writing campaigns that convert, you'll find me perfecting my deadlift form, experimenting with fusion cooking (my Asian dishes are legendary), or analyzing UFC fights with the intensity of a sports commentator.

I speak 5 languages with varying degrees of confidence and can hold conversations about everything from blockchain technology to the philosophical implications of travel.

Sometimes the best stories come from unexpected plot twists.

Currently expanding my creative arsenal.

I bring Portuguese wine, and an infectious curiosity about local culture wherever I land.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hotels show you the sanitized version of a city. Couchsurfing shows you its soul.

I'm here because the best travel stories never happen in five-star lobbies, they happen in local kitchens sharing homemade meals, getting insider tips about hidden gems, and having those 2 AM conversations about life, culture, and dreams that you remember years later.

As a copywriter who studies human psychology, I'm fascinated by how people live, think, and create meaning in different corners of the world. Each couch is a masterclass in local culture that no guidebook can provide.

I'm seeking authentic connections with locals who love their city enough to share it with strangers. In return, I offer: Portuguese hospitality wisdom, marketing insights if you're curious, workout partnership (I never skip leg day), cooking collaboration (I'll teach you my secret bacalhau recipe), and stories from 7+ countries that'll make your friends jealous.

Plus, I'm the kind of guest who leaves your place cleaner than I found it, always brings thoughtful gifts, and becomes a genuine long-term friend rather than a one-night stranger.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

23-year-old Portuguese guy with zero Scandinavian experience walks into a room of blonde, minimalist Danish executives and says, "Your eco-app is boring. Let me fix it."

They should have laughed me out of Copenhagen.

Instead, I spent three weeks living like a local, studying Danish humor, learning their cultural nuances, and discovering that Danes appreciate brutal honesty wrapped in clever storytelling. I crafted a social media campaign that turned their "save-the-planet" message into viral content by tapping into Danish irony and self-deprecating humor.

Result? 31,000 app downloads in two months and a 38% reduction in customer acquisition costs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help out with whatever is necessary around the house, also willing to do activities together (from just talking to going out, depending on what the host feels like doing).
