About Me

*Currently living in Utrecht*

I'm just another citizen of the world who wants to see and explore as much as she can!
I love good people, good conversations, camping, hiking, music, books, Maths, Physics, the Universe...
I'm very passionate about life and all the little things, but I always want to see and know more and that's what brought me here.
I think of myself as a very positive, relaxed and open-minded kind of person. I just want to enjoy life and do good for this beautiful world we live in.
I love and respect nature, so I hope you do too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that couchsurfing is a great method for a traveller! I think that is allows me to experience new cultures from the inside, which makes it a lot more special than just creating a plan, visit the typical places and staying in a hotel. I want to travel without planning everything! And I want to learn new things, meet new people, share points of view and have fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot of books, so it’s hard to name some. I’m really passionate about Portuguese literature, so that’s what I read most. I’m always willing to discuss some Fernando Pessoa or José Saramago. Besides portuguese, I’m a big fan of Albert Camus, Sartre and Nietzsche, just to name a few.
I listen to all kinds of music. I don’t like to restrict myself to a specific kind of music. I spend a lot of my time just listening to music. I like music that makes me feel something and what I hear really depends on the situation. I can go from Paganini to Queen to Radiohead to Document One to Salvador Sobral to Tash Sultana to Janis Joplin to Mama Thornton... I could spend days showing you good music if you’re open minded enough.
Movies: Gaspar Noé, Kubrick, Tarantino, von Trier, Bertolucci... (Just to name a few)
I also watch a lot of documentaries, most of them about animals and nature.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Becoming a volunteer firefighter.
Volunteer work with animals in Ghana.
Learning how to enjoy every moment of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Life’s all about sharing!
I'm willing to share everything I've got and know and I'm always happy to learn from others, whatever they have to teach me.
When I sleep enough hours and feel energetic, you’ll see me spreading the happiness with the world.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Greece, Netherlands, Portugal
