About Me

I was born and raised in Lisbon, Portugal and have left to live and work in Germany in 2014 after finishing my Master's, due to lack of work.

There I started by living in a small town named Kevelear while working as a flight attendant and one year after I have moved to Cologne to join a new company of online language teaching. I've loved Cologne and I would stay there for life but... I've decided to go backpacking through Asia in the end of 2016 beginning of 2017. I've visited India for 4 months moving from North to South, several places in Thailand, Vietnam from South to center and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.

After traveling for 6 months I've moved back to Portugal and worked as a field merchandiser from both Figueira da Foz and Lisbon with different clients.

Recently I've lived 7 months in Gran Canary Island - you'll fall in love: the place is magical, people are friendly, nature is all around. Unfortunately due to lack of work I've left the island.

Hoping for the next adventure!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I enjoy meeting new, local, interesting and open minded people. This will provide me a renewed perspective of the place on where I am staying instead of just knowing the touristic places proposed online.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a very eclectic taste on music and I like almost every style - open to be shown different artists and styles ;)
I am very easy going regarding movies - except for action with no story - and some of my favourites are Lion, Notting Hill, Red Sparrow...
I also enjoy tv-shows such as Black Mirror, Grey's Anatomy, The Good Place and many others.
As for books I appreciates fantasy and crime mostly - The Chalk Man and Harry Potters as example. And also I love Joanne Harris!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled for 180 days in Asia - every single day was amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach languages such as Portuguese/ English; how to cook/ bake and swim.

I would love to learn new languages and traditional gastronomy and local history/ legends.

I can share my vision of the world and my experiences.
