26y old architecture student. In the last 5 years I've had the opportunity to live while working in Brazil, Turkey, Macedonia and NYC. Travel lover, enthusiastic about meeting new people, sharing life lasting experiences and discovering what the world has to offer :D

CURRENT MISSION

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page."

Never Stop Traveling! After one full year living and studying in Lisbon, now is time to move north. I will be working in Bergen for the next months. It's time to explore scandinavia, I went to Stockholm some years ago but since then I havn't been around. Expecting nothing but joy, fun and rain!

PHILOSOPHY

“This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often. If you don’t like something, change it. If you don’t like your job, quit. If you don’t have enough time, stop watching TV. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop over analyzing, life is simple. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things and people, we are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once; seize them. Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating. Live your dream, and wear your passion. Life is short.”

And I've been doing exactly that for the last 8 years :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I share CS's philosophy but never tried it before in this community. For the last years I've been part of IAESTE, one of the biggest student networks in the world. I've been guest and host for IAESTE members since my first 4months experience in Brazil.
I guess it was just a matter of time I joined you guys :D

Interests

Have I mentioned traveling before?

Sports, photography and eating (cooking too!).
I used to compete in tennis, but since I started college it became only a hobbie. Also good at any other racquet sports, football and skiing! I try to practice it at least once a year during winter.
I discovered some months ago Instagram and since then I've been very active, don't hesitate to visit my gallery @santi01
I would be able to live just by eating fruits! Every where I go I need to at least try once their local dishes.
