Overview
About Me
It's always so weird to actually take the time to think "about me".
I am journalist from Portugal and I used to be based in London until a few years ago. I quit my job and went traveling around South America. I've been a little nomadic since the age of 18, but I am currently settled in northern Poland, trying to explore as much of this side of Europe as possible. I've been on Couchsurfing since I was a teen and hosted + been a guest multiple times in different places.
I am easy to be around and quite talkative, but also enjoy my quite time. I do believe that if you are an interested person yourself, you automatically become interesting. Hence why I enjoy a good conversation, especially over a good beer.
Sunset is my absolute favourite part of the day, but I've been learning to appreciate sunrise almost as much.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on Couchsurfing because sharing is caring.

Music, Movies, and Books
Choosing my favourite books is something I reallyyyyy don't want to do, it's just too hard!
My music taste is even harder to classify because it ranges from hardcore electro to brazilian bossa nova. It's just all over the place.
