CURRENT MISSION

Sharing happiness

ABOUT ME

Relaxed, open-minded, honest, straightforward, free, independent. A strange mixture of reason and emotion. Most of the times I'm smiling. I love travelling, knowing new places and cultures and getting out of my comfort zone.

I'm from Porto, a beautiful city in the north of Portugal. I grew up there, studied Communication Sciences and made some true, amazing friends.

In 2011 I moved to Lisbon to take a Master Degree in Management and I'm currently working in my Faculty as Teaching Assistant.

PHILOSOPHY

"Happiness is only real when shared"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

A close friend started hosting and he had a great experience. Since I'm interrailing this summer, I decided to join the community :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just giving the first steps in this world.

Interests

Travelling, of course :) I like the feeling of realizing how small we are and how far we can go.

Volunteering... I remember volunteering since I was a kid. I believe it is part of a process of understanding who I am. It is all about sharing, caring and growing up.

Everything that makes me feel free.
Everyone who can teach me something new.
