I am from Porto, Portugal's second biggest city and the "2017 Best European Destination":

I lived in Porto all my life with the exception of 7 years in Lisbon (2) and London (5). In London, besides the PhD and work, I really enjoyed to be surrounded of people from all zones of the Globe. In that sense, I felt that I was traveling without flying :)!! Learned so much about people, politics, culture and history.

I traveled quite a lot, but only started traveling by my own in January. I have been almost one month in Southeast Asia. I met incredible people through CS!! Thanks a lot CS for the opportunity.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

When I am travelling I do not feel satisfied by simply visiting he most popular places. I obviously like to tick some boxes, but what make me feel really happy and grateful is the opportunity to immerse myself in the culture and world of the place I am visiting :) !!

音乐、电影和书籍

In terms of music, it really depends on my humor! Coldplay and radiohead are my favourite bands. I can however start the day listening Bossanova and fishing day in my Zumba class dancing reggaeton :).

I like all types of movies, with the exception of scientific fiction movies and musicals... But they need to be really good, at least 7.0 in IMDB.

I am not a novel fan, I prefer to read book that will me make learn something. I am currently reading Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Tell You Everything You Need To Know About Global Politics , written by Tim Marshall! It is a brilliant book to read while traveling ;)
