CURRENT MISSION

Surviving a year in Coimbra (Portugal), while studying medicine

ABOUT ME

Passionate about cinema, attended some art school. Don't have one particular genre of music that is my favourite, but I feel most comfortable with alternative and 60s rock, old jazz and bossa nova. Love to cook and eat good food with good wine.

PHILOSOPHY

"I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry- rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist." - Jack London

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As written in the section about my couch, currently I can't host people, because there is just no space for second person. However, I can keep company whenever you're in Coimbra.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet! Very excited to experience it myself.
