Hey there 😊

I'm Emanuel, originally from the north of Portugal. Growing up, I was all about Judo, competing and training until I start to work as a Physiotherapist. Nowadays, I work mostly with athletes, helping them stay at the best level of performance. But recently, I've taken a break to travel and explore the world.

When I'm not working, you'll find me enjoying simple pleasures like playing chess, soaking up nature, and staying fit and healthy through activities like bouldering and strength training.

I'm here to meet new friends and share experiences. Looking forward to connecting!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm getting ready for an exciting solo trip around Europe in May 2024 (during 30 days with Interrail Global Pass).

I'll be traveling by train with no set plans, just going with the flow! 😁

I believe that the best part of travel is meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. Couchsurfing lets me connect with locals and fellow travelers, making my journey even more special.

Starting from Portugal, my first stop will be Barcelona, and then who knows where I'll end up! If you're up for an adventure, whether you're a Couchsurfing host or fellow traveler, I'd love to meet you along the way.
