Hello, I am Pema Chentsho from Bhutan. I am 26 years old, currently a researcher at the University of Lisbon, Portugal. I did my bachelors in Electronics and communication engineering from Bhutan and a masters degree in Telecommunications Engineering from Portugal.

I am very easy going, friendly and open-minded. I am looking forward to meeting people from different countries and discovering what the world has to offer. When I am in a city, I love visiting historic sights, parks, and checking its different structural architecture and design.

I love traveling and cooking (vegetarian food). I have been to many countries in Europe and in Asia, I visited several cities in India and the capital city of Nepal (Kathmandu).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to the Couchsurfing but I love traveling, exploring, and meeting new people. I believe every person is a universe of knowledge and experiences.
