About Me

23 year old Aerospace engineering student, actually studying in Bordeaux France but currently working in Paris. I love hitchhiking and meeting new people hence my profile on Couchsurfing.
I am born from an English father and Portuguese mother. Hope to hear from you soon :)

I am still studying which means that I often have to study after Uni. If i host you, we will agree beforehand on how do we schedule our time together so that i can spend some time with you without disturbing my school work :)

I enjoy the outdoors very much, from sports such as hiking, biking, climbing, to more relaxed activities such as fishing and gardening. Of course camping which fits in both :)

--- I don't accept requests more than two weeks ahead as I never know where I will be in two weeks from now ---

-- currently out travelling for some time but my parents are able to host and really like the CS culture --

---Please read at least a little bit of my profile before sending a request, I'm opening my schedule, home and life to you. A simple an honest requests works best, please mention your relation to hitchhiking :) ---

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great way for me to get out of my routine when i am studying/working.

As i am always thinking about some sort of adventure, meeting people with the same mindset is something that i really like to do!

I've met so many incredible people through the app and I am pleased that I can call so many of them my friends

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big fan of music (same as a lot of people, I know).
I am a violonist , I play in an orchestra every week. I listen to all kind of music and I am always keen to discovering new things!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visited more than 60 countries mostly by hitchhiking
80000+ km hitchhiking

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you things about Bordeaux and the wine around it, I’d love to learn new langages, and I definitely have plenty of stories to share:)

I can also (and gladly) teach you everything about hitchhiking. If you have read my profile, please mention hitchhiking in your request.. Hitchhiking is an incredible way to travel in my opinion!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Usually when I host people we will have dinner together where i will cook anything that comes to my mind (can be vegan/vege friendly) and we will enjoy some french wine (sometime) while talking about your journey and how did you ended up on CS.
