About Me

About me... That’s a tricky one, while you’re traveling one of the most common questions people ask you is: “so what do you do?” I always find it hard to answer this because I don’t like labels... I graduated from Business School back in Portugal about three years ago hoping to be a successful businessman but since then my life has been a rollercoaster... I’ve worked as a gardener in Sydney, a farmer in Bundaberg, a breakfast cook in Indonesia, I’ve traveled across India and Sri Lanka for 1 month carrying just a small backpack with 3 kilos. I’ve worked 2 months straight in a cruise boat in England and I’ve spent 3 months in the beautiful Alpes working as a shop assistant, and backpacked another three in South America. So I’m still not sure how to answer that question but I couldn’t care less. I think the world is a beautiful place with so much to see and my goal is to get the best out of it before it’s too late...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, couchsurfing is a unique oportunity to meet local people who share the same thoughts about discovering new places and who are willing to show their culture and the best places to visit.

Music it's really important in my daily life since I'm listening to it all the time. I really enjoy listtening to indie, eletronic, and chill out music.
