About Me

I'm currently living and working in an amazing hostel so unfortunately I can't receive any guests at the moment.
I love travelling, good food, jazz, reading, languages,meeting new people, getting to know new cultures, dancing and animals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love to travel, I don't have a lot of money and I love knowing a new place or culture through the eyes of its people instead of doing touristy things. It also gives me the opportunity of meeting new people and making new friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

This would be such a long list! I'm mostly a jazz fan, but I listen to anything good, from Classical and Opera, to Hard Rock and Metal.
My favourite director right now is Jim Jarmusch, but my cinematographic interests are very vast.
I like both fiction and non-fiction, some of my favourite authors being Oscar Wilde, Bocage, Ray Bradbury, Mia Couto, among many others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Move to the UK on my own. That was quite an adventure.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an English tutor, so I'd be happy to exchange languages! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I do a great Sangria and fairly good cocktails!
