As I get quite many requests from travelers looking for a host in Lisbon, here's some IMPORTANT INFO: I live in the REGION OF LISBON, NOT IN THE CITY OF LISBON. Mafra is a small historical town (with a pretty amazing 18th century palace) situated about 35 km north of Lisbon, and some 8 km from Ericeira, a popular surfing destination. As our house is just outside the town, you'll need a car to get around, unless you really like walking :)

ABOUT ME

I'm Joanna, and I'm a freelance translator. I'm Polish and I live in Mafra, Portugal, with my Portuguese husband and our 5 year-old son André. We're easygoing, open-minded, and try to enjoy life's simple pleasures.

Having lived most of our lives in big cities, we moved to a smaller town two years ago where we can have a vegetable garden, and enjoy the peace it offers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As we're not able to travel as much as we'd like, we enjoy meeting travelers from other corners of the world
