Oláaa!
I'm Inês from Lisbon, Portugal (Cristiano Ronaldo, yeah) and even though I think Lisbon is freaking awesome I'm always thinking about the next place to go. During the day I work in communications and advertising and by night I plan trips to the whole world :D

Random facts: I'm into dark comedy and I kickass at cards against humanity, I hate planes but they are a necessary evil, I'm particularly interested in the Middle Eastern culture, I love learning new languages and to make yummy food for those I like, I spend way too many hours reading travel blogs.
I hate when people ask "why are you going there?" I mean... I wanna go everywhere!

About hosting: I finally own my own place so I would like to be able to this amazing community. I won't be able to always host (sometimes I have a housemate) and if you don't have references or if you are looking at CS as a dating app I probably won't answer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Let's be honest... Couchsurfing is awesome! Somehow they managed to create a community of people who think alike and are much more optimistic, open minded about the world than others. Couchsurfing adds that element of excitement and never knowing what will happen to your travels. Above all it surprises me: the kindness and hospitality i got from hosts and from meeting other surfers, the times when you talk for hours with someone whom you just met...
And when it goes wrong and you manage to survive, it also gives you entertaining travel stories to tell :D
