About Me

The best way I can describe myself is a comparison to Wilson of "Doctor House". Perfect match.
I have always been steady and wise in the friends company, the one who rushes to help friends at night without thinking about itself.
My dream is to become an international journalist.

In the meantime, I'm 22 years old and I am going through the explosion of my creative potential. I do yoga three times a week. My passions are languages, dancing, and filming. In my travels, I always take a camera with me to capture on video the mood of the place where I am. Once it ended up as a short documentary about life of a Portuguese fisherman in small village on the edge of the world.

I have great respect for privacy, so just tell me and I won't disturb you in any way during my stay. No problem!

All this does not mean that I don't like to have fun. I adore it. I love dancing. I love parties. But I do not agree that it is always about alcohol and glamorous noisy clubs.

Right now I'm doing my exchange year in Paris.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to see the world from the inside. Not in a way for tourists all-inclusive, but to live the journey in a local way. See their true culture, taste their food, repeat their traditions and everything that makes their lives.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Thanks to Couchsurfing I went to a small Portuguese village to film a short documentary about local fisherman's day. Going to the sea with him. Having just one simple camera. Without knowing local language (he spoke only Portuguese).

Last summer I went on a trip around France just on my own. Three weeks at houses of fantastic people from Couchsurfing. Definitely, it's the most amazing thing I've done!
