Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Over the years we hosted more than 40 couch-surfers.
It's a great experience and we've really made good friends and we already surfed some of their couches.
One of this days we must do a couchsurfing guests visiting round trip :P

Interests

We are outdoor activities fans and participate in orienteering and trsil running competitions.
We also like to do mountain hiking and climbin, although we are very bad at it, only IV/V level climbing :)
We are also into folk/traditional music/dance and never miss a concert or festival near us :)
MJ (Maria João) is into International Relations and I also like the subject, so we are always willing to share opinions on foreign politics with other people.
When traveling we always try to talk to locals about all kinds of subjects and try to understand what they think of the local/global problems/situations/etc.
