About Me

Hi! I just recently moved to Coimbra, I lived in Gold Coast Australia for about two and half years. I am 1/4 Portuguese! But this is my first time in Portugal, I am really curious about the culture because a really big part of me comes from here. I decided to stay in Coimbra because I was really curious to see the student lifestyle in Coimbra. I am really interested in a lot of subjects, this has made choosing a career really hard for me; the ones that come to my mind are environment, psychology and biology. Honesty is a big thing for me, along with loyalty :) Although I admire technology very much, I like some things to be old fashioned, I prefer to have conversations face to face and sometimes just walk and wander around to find new places.
