About Me

I finished my bachelor recently and I'm now starting to wander the paths of Europe.
After many years studying I decided to take some time to travel on the possible means, find some seasonal work, hitchiking, couchsurfing, wwoofing, following the opportunities that show up in my way...

Apart from studying I spent my life practicing different sports (athletics, swimming, football, basketball, hockey, modern penthatlon, gymnastics) and playing music (guitar, percussion). Nowadays I mostly surf and work , in the summer, as a surf teacher.
In recent years I already started exploring some of the world around me, participated in a short-term European Volunteer Service and a couple of Erasmus + exchanges and training courses, had a couple of hitchiking adventures.
During the time I was in University I volunteered with AFS and was active in the movement for climate in Porto.
Aaaaaaand I guess that's a lot for now, we will hopefully have a chance to share more whever we meet ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My account is not recent but I am pretty much new to CS. In my previous trips I used to count on friend, friends of friends or nice strangers I met along the way but, as I'm expecting to spend more time on the road and to take more unexpected turns, I figured it would be good to give the old CounchSurfing a go :)
