Hi Couchsurfers,

My name is Alice, 28, I'm an English girl currently living in the beautiful historic city of Porto and then moving down to Lisbon for August/September.

I moved to Portugal for the surf and the sea! A perfect day for me is spent by the ocean, waking up early to play in the waves. Day to day, I'm finishing work on a novel manuscript, which I have to send to my editor in weekly instalments (so she knows I am working and not just sunbathing!) Being from Manchester, a great music city, I'm always up for hearing new bands and dancing.

I am a trained teacher of Kundalini yoga so my vibe is happy and chilled :)

If you want to meet up, sip a strong espresso and explore the city streets you can message me.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Alice

PS I don't have facebook! But you can find me on instagram @alicecatherineclarke

EDIT: CURRENTLY IN MANCHESTER UK!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- I am the 90s grunge queen and my favourite bands are stuck in this time warp. I love music though and always want to hear new bands.

Books- I read obsessively! Most recently, everything by Dana Spiotta. Always have time for the Californian classics; Joan Didion, Bret Easton Ellis, John Fante.

Movies- Harold & Maude is a family Christmas favorite. I'll watch anything in black and white with a handsome leading male (Cary Grant, instant romance).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've driven through the Hollywood Hills in a vintage black porsche with the manager of The Cramps, listening to his tapes of a musical education and getting personal stories of the singer, Lux.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach- I am a trained teacher of Kundalini Yoga (KRI Institute certified). This is my daily spiritual practice and if you are interested I will happily to teach you a meditation/yoga set to make you feel peaceful and happy.

English- it's my native language, though you'd be shocked at my grammar...

Learn- being in Portugal, you can teach me Portuguese!

Share- if I say so myself, I am an excellent cook! I love to make delicious meals to share with friends.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation, cooking, cleaning (I am neat), meditation, yoga, surf, books, and hopefully laughing and fun.
