ABOUT ME

Sweet, amiable, British person living in Lisboa. I like going out to cultural places, bars, spending time with friends, traditional ale/cider, Jazz, Samba, cooking and art cinemas. I'm learning Portuguese.

I work full-time in a technical support environment in an office with views over the river. I spent 6 weeks volunteering in a Portuguese nature reserve before receiving a job offer and coming to Lisboa.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started using this website when I first moved to Lisboa. Since then I have attended the Portuguese/English language exchanges which I have found really helpful.
I had a girl named Shenny from LA stay at my place. The day after we saw some sights in the city and went for breakfast in Casa do Alentejo
I also arranged a Christmas day lunch at my place (Turkish Shakshouka) for couchsurfers from Egypt and Palestine.

Interests

Fruit (I'm not a complete raw foodist by any means but I'm interested in that lifestyle and like learning about nutrition).

Playing acoustic guitar. Harmony, Pasta. Conversing with friends over drinks. Looking forward to spending more time in the Estrela area of Lisboa.
