About Me

I am a practical happy person. I like to travel and i'd like to visit at least 1 new place/year.

I am originally from Leiria, then I went to study in Porto, then Pisa and now...
I've been living in Lisbon for the past 3 years, with my boyfriend Zé.

Depending on how my project is going, there are periods when I have a lot of free time and others when I have no time at all... So I can't promise to visit/show you around, but there's always time for a coffee or a ginjinha.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Usually when I travel, it's to visit friends, so i've tried the "unofficial couchsurfing" before.
I also met some couchsurfers when I was in Pisa, as an Erasmus student, and got a really nice impression from them.
I've hosted friends and friends of friends at my place several times and, so far, it is going great.

Interests

I like to have coffee with friends, walk around, drink ginjinha, play boardgames, take care of my cells in the lab, getting to know a new city, going on walking tours, trying out new food...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One summer, me and a friend of mine went to live with an italian family for a month. That was something amazing, I think: that they'd welcome us in their house, show us around, and make us feel like we were part of the family too. As it turns out, none of us really knew what to expect at first, but it was really a lovely experience to remember.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can make a nice chocolate cake and I like to learn how to cook new dishes too.
I can share books and go out for a beer and nice conversation.
