Halo, my name is Cátia. I always had the anxiety to do important things and to see the world as it is in reality. I was born in France but I grew up in Portugal. I moved to Coimbra to study. I graduated with a degree in Economics in 2018. Last year I was attending two post – graduate programs at the University of Coimbra. One of them relates to Chinese and the Portuguese Speaking countries and the other one is International Business, with emphasis on Marketing, Strategy and Innovation. Right now I am doing a master degree in Industrial Engineering and Management at University of Coimbra. I am still trying to figure how I can be helpful in this world. I like to read and write about what I see. I like a lot of sports such as running and trekking. I love to discover new places and new people. Hope to see you soon!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a Portuguese student who wants to travel around Europe and beyond (but let's start with Europe!) and learn more about its culture its past the peoples’ way of living. I wanna understand how the social structure of the European countries work, I wanna try their food, their dances, listen to their music, know about their traditions. I wanna experience and learn from what I see and from the places I will go. I wanna meet new people and I want those people to show me their culture. I love to photograph. I hope you can receive me!

Interests

I really enjoy to watch alternative cinema and to visit recondite places. I love to learn about the history of the country and to learn few words of the language of the country.
