Born Portuguese, living in Lisbon.

I love running (10-20k/week) and training at the Fitness Centre and also biking and doing CrossFit.
Whenever I have free time, I play golf and I go surfing with my family and friends.
Besides that I love reading, watching nice movies and learning from people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Started while planning a summer trip in California with one of my good mates.
Open minded, relaxed and curious for new cultures.

I am very new here, literally just joined (June 21st 1015)
After my trip, had a good experience with CS in California, thinking about repeating something similar in the future.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I decided to run a 1/2 Marathon 2 days before when I had just recovered from a bad flu :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a bit of guitar, bit of surf, a lot of football, a lot of cooking, history, traveling and a lot about laughing

I want to learn how to sail again (I used to until I was 11), more on the American History, improve my surf (a lot of work to do still), run a marathon, new languages and new cooking recipes/techniques

What I Can Share with Hosts

Jokes, food, beer, fun stories, songs, advice (both fun and serious)

By the way, did i mention how I love cooking?
