Originally from Portugal, living in Iceland :)

On the Road again, hitting the Americas this time! I'll be starting in Mexico mid November 2024 and head south through Central America the next couple of months and hopefully make it to South America in 2025.

What uuup! I started a big adventure/life experience in November 2016, leaving Portugal to southern Argentina with no plan, only a big desire to see places I've always (or never) dreamed of and meeting beautiful people everyday :)

Did some travelling in Africa, South and North America, Europe, Australia, Asia, Central America. Hoping to keep on traveling all over the world now :) Europe at the moment!!
Studied Hotel Management, love to travel and meet new people. Love animals and the outdoors, especially beach and the ocean :)

I've worked abroad and in Portugal, now following a new challenge, at personal and professional level: work and travel.

I'm a people's person and always open to new experiences! Hope to be shown the best of each place I visit by my hosts, I will give you the best of me in return: laughter, cooking, sharing, talking, hanging out, partying :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You don't get to really know a place unless you do it with the locals.

Trying to avoid the standard mass hospitality places in order to get a real perspective from each place I visit.

Meeting new people is the best part of the experience. I love the concept of generosity!

Interests

Love history and cultural spots, as well as the outdoors, nature and animals!

I like every sport (except for cricket)

I'm into volunteering and service in general (hospitality) and I'm a real peoples person
