Hi! I am Maria. I am a Portuguese living in Berlin for over 5 years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I need hosts...
... and it's such a nice way to meet new people, even through local events and groups.

Unfortunately I can't host anybody since my room is too small and we don't even have a living room in my flatshare.

Interests

Art
Cinema (oldies and classics)
Cooking
Drawing
Currently learning how to sew

Music, Movies, and Books

I like many kinds of music and I go through phases... But my biggest affinity now is with post-punk and electronic.
Movies... I am more into oldies and classic stuff. I love silent German Expressionist kino and my favourite directors are probably Luis Buñuel, Godard, Alfred Hitchcock and Visconti. I am also a fan of Buster Keaton.
My most meaningful reads were Edgar Allan Poe, Jorge Luis Borges, Thomas Mann and Haruki Murakami. Portuguese XIXth century Eça de Queirós is terrific too.
Currently reading Cien Años de Soledad

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting 8 different cities, 4 countries in 9 days.
Also recently I have made really nice matcha and raspberry scones.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you with design software and drawing. Also I am happy to teach you some Portuguese and maybe make some nice dish, maybe a PT dish?
