CURRENT MISSION

at my 30th year living in this planet I realize that we need to unlearn what we think we have learned...

ABOUT ME

I´m a searching guy, I like to travel meet new people, new places and absorbing the most I can of our experiences. For me, communication is the key to achieve the true freedom, that means “learning together”.

I was born in Caracas – Venezuela, my first 13 years (my lucky number) I lived in this amazing city until things get political unstable and my parents decided to go back to Portugal. From they where, are? Anyway so, all my life I was an emigrant. When me and my mother arrived in Oporto – Portugal we go to visit my father that was working in Barcelona. I come back again to this city with 26 years old searching for another place to be an emigrant! :)
I study Landscape Design in “Viana do Castelo” a city from the north of Portugal, great professors, real friends, the great old times! When I finish my studies, me and some friends worked with some professors, real wise human beings, always instilling in us the joy for searching new things. But the market is the market and Portugal is a delayed country.
So internet it's a great market for now, so I decided to start doing web pages. I grew up with the internet and when this fancy pages started to show up I decide to learn how to do that, and I find the best university of the world “the net”.
I came to Barcelona in 2005 and it was really easy to get a job as a web designer. I worked in a small agency call http://elespacio.net and recently I worked in a new project of a very close friend http://plantazero.com take a look!!

Know I need to see the world!!! with my camera!

PHILOSOPHY

People do not look for reasons for their actions, they search for excuses.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I found CS recently, talking with a friend about a trip I´m planning to do in the Eastern Europe. I think this is a major medium to communicate travelers, places and experiences for all over the world. I will like to meet new people, new places and return that experience if you pass trough Barcelona!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It´s the first time I´m surfing. I don´t know how to surf a couch or even a surfboard but I trust the sea will help me...

Interests

My interests are related to the way things transmit emotions. I can´t live without music, life without it, it´s like a movie without a soundtrack. I like movies that make you think and change your perception of reality. I love the power of a image, so i like photography, design, architecture. Lately I´m getting into philosophy, existentialism and physics.
