I'm Portuguese, but I was born in Mozambique. For two years of my childhood, I lived in the Netherlands.
I'm married and we have a son and a daughter. As our son is now studying away from home, we decided to share his bedroom for Couch Surfing travelers. Our daughter enjoy meeting people from all over the world.

I'm a PhD researcher on literary landscapes. I've graduated in Classical Languages and Portuguese Literature. I was an NGO volunteer in Mozambique for 2 years with my husband and we have traveled in Africa.
I've worked on different domains: education, social projects, publishing houses and I was a freelance proofreader for 10 years.
I like walking and I do it every day. I enjoy reading, writing, and meeting people from different countries.
