Hello world 🙂 This is Gabriella. I'm an adventurous person who loves to travel and make friends with all kinds of people from all over the world. Although meeting like minded people is nice, I'm more interested in meeting people who are different from me to challenge my thoughts and beliefs. I'm always looking to learn and discover new things, and tasting new dishes/cuisines. My interests include: books, cinema, art, hiking in nature, wine, music, and cooking (and eating) delicious food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Thanks to some major life hiccups brought about by the COVID pandemic, have finally fulfilled my dream of finding a remote job. YAY! This means that I can now work from anywhere. Double YAY! I am planning to move to Portugal for the year 2021. I would like to enrich my experience by meeting and staying with local people until I find my own apartment. I am a very respectful person and I am looking for more than a place to stay, I would like to make new friends, share with you my thoughts, interests and experiences, and hear yours as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Broke my collarbone

Teach, Learn, Share

If you'd like to learn English, I will be more than happy to practice with you. I can also teach you how to swear in Maltese. Although you might think this is a useless skill to have, I invite you to think twice. Swearing has been scientifically proven to reduce stress, and if you're doing it in a language no one understands, you can vent your frustrations liberally in public and at at any time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversations, stories, humour and a nice cooked meal.
