hello I'm Joana and, long story short, I’ve graduated in veterinary nursing but somehow my career turned to be around design and now I’m a UX/UI Designer 🌈

I’m a very easy going person, it’s all good when the things go with the flow. I love animals, sunsets, nature, longboard skating, beach, and well, all the simple things about life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

because I choose to believe in humans and kindness, in genuine travels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

for me?
- 2 month’s volunteering mission in Ulongué, Mozambique, helping a Jesuite’s orphan project over 7 communities

- hitchhiked in Portugal, Spain and Morocco
- first time driving a motorbike, in the incredible mountains in the North of Vietnam

Teach, Learn, Share

Although I haven’t been very active at longboard skating lately, I can try to teach you a bit, and also would love to learn something cool from you ;)

If I host you, I will expect you:

- to be respectful, clean, and leave the things as you found them before use
- to feel free to use the groceries existent in the house, but please retribute with some others, so we can keep supporting this lifestyle
- are ok if I feel tired to cook on week/working days, but we can manage it together and help each other ofc, it will be a pleasure to eat a local dish from your country/town or share my own with you
- to feel free to go out by yourself if you want to
- to feel free to stay home if you want to, even that I still want to go out, and it’s all good
- to enjoy the beach nearby (10min away - car/bus)

What I Can Share with Hosts

well first things first, I can share my flat, you will find a balcony where you can watch the sunset everyday.
