Originally from Portugal, living in Iceland :)

(I do not live in Kirkjubaejarklaustur, I'm an hour and half away, I live like 10 min away from the Glacier Lagoon (where I work), 1 hour from Höfn. If someone is in the area and really needs help, please message me. It's not easy for me to host cause I live in the shared staff accommodation, but like I said, I'd be happy to help if anyone needs anything, even if it's just a place to park, some food or a hot shower. I might even be able to hook you up with a free Lagoon tour:))

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
