THANK YOU FOR CHECKING OUR PROFILE!
APPRECIATE IF YOU CAN READ OUR ENTIRE PROFILE BEFORE REQUESTING ANY STAY.
FAILURE TO READ IT WILL DESQUILIFY YOUR REQUEST IMMEDIATELY.

We (Joe and Sal) are a couple that relocated to Portugal from the USA in November 2020. As we learn more about the culture, people, cuisine, and wine from this beautiful country, we are enjoying the experience and are incredibly happy to be here.

We have been together for 20+ years and are lucky having traveled separately and together around different cities and countries, getting to meet fantastic human beings. We have lived in the USA in Chicago, Phoenix, Albuquerque, Houston, and now in Porto, Portugal. As such, we consider ourselves down to earth, unassuming, practical, and laid back.

We have a very lovable Chocolate Labrador retriever named Uriel. She is well behaved most of the time and keeps us somehow active. Unfortunately, we are not party animals, as we are exceedingly early raisers, and our days usually start at 5AM. No worries! We try to be respectful and considerate with our guests, but our girl is used to our early schedule now, and as such, we try to go to bed early.

We are both foodies and enjoy great beer, wine, conversations, culture, art, and architecture. We enjoy cooking and appreciate people who like to cook and, of course, eat!

ADDITIONAL NOTES AND RULES:

* Please read our profile in full, as well as reviews, interests, likes and groups; this information should give you a clear idea of who we are and what to expect if you stay with us.

* We are very selective on who we host as we aim to provide a more personal experience. If you don't have a full and detailed profile, are not a verified member, or you have no reviews, most likely, we will decline your request. Please also tell us a bit about yourself and your expectations while visiting on your request. What food you like? Do you drink coffee? Do you drink? Etc. Lastly, if we accept your request, we expect a confirmation within 24 hrs. If you do not do so, we will decline your request after that time.

* We do not smoke, nor do or accept drugs, and that is a big NO NO for us if one of our guests will bring drugs to our house. We have zero tolerance as we aim to create a safe and clean environment in which everybody feels welcome, as such we are very trustworthy; when you come to our house you can relax, know that you have some people to trust and rely on and we expect the same in return.

* We understand that technology is important in our lives, and we respect that. However, if you are having a meal or conversation with us, please forget about your phone or computer and enjoy the experience. It is plain disrespectful to check your phone while having any conversation or meal.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

We all have been there in which we wanted to visit places but we do not have enough money to do so. Housing is expensive these days, so we want to help a little bit to fellow travelers by providing a positive experience staying in a safe and clean place when visiting our city, while sharing life and stories together as a way to meet interesting people and maybe make long time friends.

音乐、电影和书籍

Regarding music we have an eclectic mixed taste that range from Pop to Classical music.
About movies we love comedy and romantic comedy (Ever After, Legally Blonde, etc) we also like superhero movies (DC Fans) and Mystery/Thriller (Type of Six Sense)
In books we read a lot of business related material and some novels such as Sidney Sheldon, Anne Rice, etc.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

We both snorkeled and dive on the great barrier reef in Australia, an amazing experience that hopefully we will get to repeat.
Equally impressive was to explore the Wadi Musa in Jordan and make our way to Petra, not only visiting the Treasury but the monastery. It was all breath taking.
