I'm a girl, and dislocated student, and university finalist, and chronic procrastinator, and mild hoarder, and my future profession will be pretending I know about engineering.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The potential of cheap housing somehere in the world, and I get bored in Porto.

Interests

Making origami out of paper receipts;
trying all sort of useless time/task management apps;
making lists;
finding good music;
creativity and tutorials and DIY and anything-hacking;
Coursera and Duolingo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Carry 6-month worth of luggage in trains across 3 countries.

Teach, Learn, Share

Out of the top of my head, traditional fermented foods and other countries' books, music and films would be much appreciated.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good sense of orientation in Porto and the surprising skill of speaking Portuguese. Plus, a shared sense of discover of the city, because I haven't really been downtown in about 2 years.
