I'm Joana, I'm a 22 year old psychology student doing my masters in Minho's University. Originally i'm from Barcelos but currently I'm living in Braga. I'm curious, open and always in the mood for some fun! I love to explore and learn, living adventures is my passion and I swear I have some really epic stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel is one of my passions and couchsurfing seems really fun and is the best way to be in contact with locals, I want to get to know the best places and the secrets of the cities i'm in, is always a great opportunity to get to know new people and make some friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music. Music makes life better and fuller. I love singing even if I can't hit the right note even if my life depended on it. I'm a karaoke queen.
My mom used to call me "papa livros" which means I read everything I can get my hands on. Some of favourite books are "Pride and Prejudice", "The Portrait of Dorian Gray" and my favourite authors are Pessoa and Saramago. My guilty plesure John Green.
I have a huge gap in movies, but I love tv-shows and series! I'm a big Netflix fan.
Nobody asked but I love youtube!
