CURRENT MISSION

I´m a PhD-student and I´m working on the Creole language of Guinea-Bissau

ABOUT ME

Since more than a year I´ve been living in Berlin, where I have a wonderful life! As I came here, I thought it would have been a wonderful one-month-experience, I didn´t expect to decide to stay here, but...the city had captured me and I really couldn´t fly away!Sometimes the best experiences begin this way...

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be positive even when things go wrong. Sometimes it´s hard but that´s the game!Friends are the best part of my life and with them I´m always satisfied.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I heard about CS, I found it was a great idea and a wonderful way of travelling, seeing the world and know new interesting people from all over the world! I would like to participate in this, but at the moment I can just offer "coffee or meeting", as I don´t have a flat of my own and can´t host anyone...but in the future I hope I will have this possibility!

Interests

The first interest of my life has always been travelling. I´m keen on that and I´m a very curious person about people, cultures and countries. Thanks to grants from the university, I already could visit Russia (Siberia) and some cities of Germany.Thanks to my interest in other cultures, I´ve known about "creoles" and I felt in love with those languages!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most intense memories I collected in my life is the sunset on a frozen lake in Siberia, while a couple of people was ice fishing!The reflection of the colours of the sky on the ice was amazing...and meanwhile the trans-siberian train was running on the tracks!
