About Me

Im excited about so many diferent things that its actually hard to make a list.
I would say that lately my main interests are folk music, anthropology / social sciences, activism/ social movements, the circus (i do aerial), regenerative agriculture, cinema, literature... The list goes on and on.

I can quote like 200 vines from memory, i have the most amazing memory for the most useless stuff.
I like to be quiet sometimes and enjoy silence. But most of the time I enjoy being arround friends and laughing loudly, listening to music and talking about the inevitable crash of late capitalism ✨

DISCLAIMER: i dont use couchsurfing as a dating app so message me only if you want to hang out and make friends and stuff and not to try something else 🙃
Obviously i dont think there's anything wrong with random hook ups, but as a girl traveling alone i need to feel safe and respected :)))

Also, free Palestine. Today and always. If this sentence disturbs you, we should not meet or waste each others tome. If you are a zionist, misoginist, Andrew tate fanboy, racist, classist, transfobe, homophobe or whatever other kind of asshole please do not contact me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I guess this is a cliché but i think that there's no better way to know somewhere than to see it through a locals eyes. You always get a way deeper view of the environment and social life.
Also its a great way to make friends and connections :) and thats really one of the things I love most about travels.

Im also reaaally into ska, folk punk and afro beat. Oh and balkan music!!!
I like Electronic too

Now concerning books, im in love with magical realism and portuguese neo realism. So anything like Gabriel García Márquez, José Saramago, etc.

As for movies, i love ghibli, hayo miyazaki and anime and animation in general.
Spirited away and the tale of princess kaguya are one of my favorite movies ever.
I also love the work of Pedro Almodovar, he is for sure one of my favorite directors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once helped a friend take out his braces with a nail clipper 💀 I know this sounds horrible but the clinic was charging a fortune to take his braces out so we just decided to take it out ourselves. It turned out great actually, he has a really nice smile now 😅
On a more serious note, this was actually an interesting experience because it showed me that sometimes we have this ilusion of being dependent to a lot of things and we feel like we always need money and profesionals to solve every issue in our lives... But sometimes we Just have to get creative and use what we have I guess.

Teach, Learn, Share

Im not a very diverse chef but theres a few dishes that im actually really proud of! I can cook and teach you how to make tradicional portuguese dishes :))
I Can also try to teach you some circus skils if we can manage to find Something that looks like a trapee, lyra, rope or aerial silk 😅
I used to dance argentinian tango so if you're into dancing I Can try to teach you some moves.
Im also always down to sing and share music.
Oh and i have unlimited stock of blue stories if you're into riddles :)
