About Me

Im a International Relations student passionate about human rights. I try to travel as much as I can. Meeting new people is always a challenge while I travel and that is the reason I created my profile here.
I live in Porto, I love riding my motorcycle and cooking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always manage to find cheap tickets to the most random places but most of the time I dont get to go because the accommodation is always way to expensive.
In addition, I tend to be a really shy person when meeting new people and I want to invert that situation through Couchsurfing

Interests

I love cooking and I have been doing it since I am 15. I dont have favourite dishes but I really appreciate my risotto.
I am passionate about human rights and politics and that is the future I intend to pursue profissionally.

  • human rights

  • music
  • international relations
  • cinema
  • gastronomy
  • climate change

Music, Movies, and Books

It is really difficult for me to choose my favourite music, movie or book.
However, in terms of music I really appreciate a little bit of everything, from r&b to techno, rock, soul, etc
One of my favourite directors is Paolo Sorrentino (watch Youth and The Great Beauty!!!)
In terms of books, my favourite ones are about politics or classic literature. Currently I am reading "Psychadelics" by Aldous Huxley and "Cast Away" a book about the refugees crisis.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did Erasmus in Czech Republic and I was able to travel across the entire Central Europe.
It was an incredible experience that allowed me to grow in every single way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my cooking skills as well as my political views. I am really passionate about politics and if we start talking while drinking a glass of wine I wont shut up for hours
