CURRENT MISSION

Just finished my semestre abroad at HAN university in Arnhem so the plan is to enjoy my stay in the Netherlands to the fullest since afterwards I'll be going back to my "regular" life back in Porto full of responsabilities, studies and much more

ABOUT ME

Portuguese, 21 years old living in Arhem, Netherlands

I am very chilled in personality, don't really like to rush things but at the same time I can adapt very easily so I'll be comfortable in pretty much any situation

I love to talk, I can go for hours and listen for hours in many topics. I can discuss International politics, sociology, psychology, anything music related I'll probably have an opinion :D, movies from the 50's to this decade and many more

Also love clubbing, specially good eletronic music, drinking and smoking

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy? Well 1st promise I made to myself is that I would never work on something I do not like. I just cannot see myself wasting my life on something I don't enjoy like a lot of people do only for money and fame.

My goal is to regret nothing, but thats impossible... so the next best thing is to regret as little as possible. I believe we only have one life and I already have to many ideas on what to do with it and I'm not gonna waste my breath being miserable

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I plan on giving back any hospitality I receive. I haven't hosted anyone or been a surfer but I plan on doing both :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Still waiting for my 1st couch surfing experience since until now I hadn't needed it before

Interests

My first love is music. I've been playing guitar for many years now and i am a fan of many genres. For the last few years I became more and more interested in eletronic music and now my goal is to start production as soon as possible. Some of my favorite genres are( techno, house, deep house, nu-jazz, funk, soul, grunge, surf music)

I am also a surfer at heart. My father is a scuba diver and since I was like 4 or 5 he started putting me inside the water and I never left. I love anything water related from surfing, bodyboarding, scuba diving and many more

Another big interest for me is debating, whatever the subject. If I am clueless about something that just makes me more enthusiastic to learn more so I love to talk to people with different ineterests and passions since I can always learn more

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well... craziest and most amazing? I surfed a point break in Portugal with waves over 3 meters/1o feet and very shallow. The ocean was so dangerous that all my friends backed out and I ventured all by myself. All I know is that I had the most fun of my life if though I was more scared than a 5 year old. To give you a sense of how stupidly dangerous it was my mom was on the beach crying thinking I wasn't coming back and it was up to the lifeguard to calm her down and reassure her that I knew what I was doing

Teach, Learn, Share

Right now my goal besides university is to start production in eletronic music so if anyone is a dj out there and wants a student for the duration of my stay I would be honored
