"Don't be ashamed of who you are. That's your parent's job."

Hey, I'm Jannah!
I'm on the last year at college studying social gerontology in Coimbra. I was born in Amsterdam, moved to Santa Maria (Azores Archipelago) when I was a little baby, and now I'm in Coimbra having the time of my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new at CS so i have 0 experience.
The main reason why I'm here is to fully dive in to the culture when I'm abroad. Getting in touch with places from a different angle and knowing people from the whole world.
I can sometimes lean you my couch in the Azoren Islands, or in Coimbra, Portugal.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really love all kinds of music. I listen to everything from baroque music to dead metal. Except choirs, I don't like choirs.

I'm a movie geek, and I've seen more movies that anyone is proud to say. Some of my all time favorite are: Pulp Fiction, Requiem for a dream, The Dreamers, Trainspotting, L'ecume des jours, One flew over the cuckoos nest, Donnie Darko, and the list goes on forever.

Bukowski is a legend. That being said, other writers are ok too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time when I was 6 years old I saved my little brother from being runned over by a pig. I'm scared of pigs.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to say nice words in Portuguese and bad words in Dutch. Or the opposite. I can also share how to make the best pancakes in the world.
Oh.. and I want to learn EVERYTHING.
