About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Getting to know people in the South of Portugal :) Can't wait to be over there ! :D
I enjoy getting to know people and their cultures on my journeys through their stories and genuine conversations, so I hope to continue this with couchsurfing ;)

ABOUT ME

I am a pretty open person, love to have a good chat and love learning about new cultures. I have the travel bug and want to see as much of the world as possible. I'm very flexible and am able to have fun staying in or going out. I'm very outgoing and optimistic, always up for a laugh.

PHILOSOPHY

"Be the change you want to see in the world" — Mahatma Gandhi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend told me about it, and I thought, let's try it out. I think CS is a great way to enjoy travelling because sometimes, it can be hard to find an affordable place to stay.

Right now I'm unable to host, but would love to meet up with fellow couchsurfers for activities and have a chat over a drink in the city.

Interests

Photography, non-profit work, development, being lost in a foreign city, nature, animals, nightlife, history, learning about other cultures, religions and perspectives, TRAVELING — I've seen a bit from different countries and want to continue to add more countries to my 'visited' list.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: action and thrillers.
Books: anything worth the read.
Music: mix match of everything. Pretty mainstream, actually. Any musicals is good, and I'm always up for seeing new shows and plays and concerts!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm up for learning all sorts of things :) I fancy having discussions about class, race and gender. I can't stand racism. Also, I have a passion for languages, I would like to improve my Arabic. I really want to maintain my level of Portuguese, strengthen my Dutch and revisit my Italian and Japanese since I've neglected them for a while. I can teach you a few phrases in Spanish if you'd like to learn. Otherwise, I love reading, writing, running, and learning how to make traditional dishes ^^
