Overview
About Me
I’m an insatiably curious person, passionate about innovation, culture, and great conversations.
At the moment, I’m pursuing my Master’s degree and working as an Innovation Consultant (among other things… the gym included!). Navigating the challenges of the modern world with creativity and technology has almost become a hobby for me. But more than titles or job roles, what truly defines me is my desire to learn every day — through books, music, travel, and of course, the amazing people (and some... not so amazing, haha) who cross my path.
My home in Lisbon is my little refuge, and I love sharing it with people who are looking for more than just a place to sleep. I enjoy hosting guests who bring stories in their luggage and a desire to exchange ideas. Whether it’s sharing a homemade meal, discussing a good book, discovering new music together, enjoying a nice wine, a beer, or just a juice... I believe every encounter can be an enriching experience.
I’m easygoing, flexible, and very respectful of each person’s space and pace.
Some guests prefer to explore the city on their own, while others enjoy more social time — I’m always open to whatever feels right for each person and whatever time allows!
If you’re passing through Lisbon and looking for more than just a couch — if you’re looking for good conversation and genuine cultural exchange — it would be a pleasure to host you!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Joining Couchsurfing offers a unique opportunity for cultural exchange and global connections. By hosting travelers from different parts of the world or staying with locals, you can learn about new cultures, languages, and traditions in a genuine and personal way. This exchange of experiences enriches the lives of both participants, providing unforgettable stories and moments. Additionally, Couchsurfing allows you to meet like-minded individuals, creating lasting friendships and a global network of contacts.
Beyond cultural exchange, Couchsurfing is an affordable and flexible way to travel. For many, it is a cost-effective alternative to hotels and hostels, enabling them to explore new destinations without breaking the bank. The ability to host and be hosted according to availability and convenience is an added advantage. This method of travel and accommodation fosters a spirit of community and trust, where hospitality and generosity are highly valued. Participating in Couchsurfing allows you to explore the world in a more authentic, rich, and connected way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One of the most challenging experiences I've had was moving to Angola and living there during a time of crisis. I got to know Angola beyond Luanda and outside of the closed compounds.
