Hi :) I'm Ana Maria a Portuguese girl. And I'm a scout.
I've always traveled during my childhood around Portugal and I loved it. Later I went to other countries with friends and scouts. Usually camping or staying at friends houses.

I finished my Speech and Language Therapy degree in 2017 and I've been exploring different work areas while travelling.
I think that is amazing taste new flavors, hear new languages, learn from locals and the stories behind a place, explore nature, find a way to communicate without a common language, sharing experiences...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe couchsurfing may allow me to meet new people and places while learning about who lives there and their experiences as long as sharing my own. With the benefit of a place to sleep and a peacefull and cherish conversation.

Interests

A perfect day would start with a hike in the mountains followed by a swim and ending in a campfire with people laughing and singing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in China for three months with a Chinese family, living like a real local and having native experiences while tutoring the child basic English.

Teach, Learn, Share

We all learn and teach each other. It's a constant trade even when we think we have nothing to give, someone proves that we're wrong.

What I Can Share with Hosts
