About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying Life!

ABOUT ME

Hey all!
I consider myself adaptable to almost all situations!
I also think I'm outgoing and interested in whatever people have to offer me , may it be knowledge, new views on life or some free guitar lessons(or any other instrument)!
I tend to be a happy person and I truly appreciate those little everyday pleasures.

PHILOSOPHY

I always try to stay positive and help other people the best way I can!

The past is just a story we tell ourselves.

Try more things, cross more lines.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, as I can't host yet, I intend to travel to foreign countries to know other cultures through my hosts and by visiting different and unique places, thus having the full-experience!
In addition, I'm available to show everyone my beautiful town,Porto, and it's wonders and to meet up whenever necessary!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been active on the Couchsurfing community for quite a while and I've already couchsurfed once in Barcelona, in Paris and in Lagos.
Definetely made me want to be more engaged on this amazing experience!
I also participate showing people around the city and going to CS meetings and hikes, which I absolutely adore!
I'm still not able to be a host due to living with my mom still, but I can't wait to have a house of my own, and share it with everyone that understand the concept of Couchsurfing!

Interests

My main interests are travelling,listening to music and going to concerts, meeting new interesting people, learning languages and improving them(!), cycling, watching movies and tv series,reading, being with my friends, hiking, beautiful landscapes and cheese! (etc, etc , etc)
Oh, and collecting stuff from wherever I go, like flowers, stickers, flyers, .. I'm a hoarder!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have too many things to say on this one! Plus, I'd rather find out these type of things through an amusing convo!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

St. James Way(Caminho de Santiago) : Although I'm not religious,it was one of the best experiences of my life due to the amazing people I've met,the stunning places I walked through and also it was a great personal achievement!

Teach, Learn, Share

I might be able to share some Language Lessons! English, Portuguese and Spanish would be the best!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I usually love to cook wherever I am, and since I'm vegetarian it's usually vegetarian meals as well. I also love to go for a nice walk and to have interesting conversations about any topic at all, and the weirder it is, the better! Jokes aside, my main interest on couchsurfing is attaining new perspectives on life and other matters as well.
Also,one of my goals is to get to know all types of people and get to know the locals of each city, which always makes me fall in love with the city I'm visiting!
So in my opinion, Couchsurfing is perfect for these things!
