I'm Marlene I was born 31 years ago in Lisbon, Portugal, country where I lived most of my life. I've traveled a bit and I'm just finishing a one year EVS project in Madrid, Spain. I worked for more than 10 years as a theatre producer and communication manager, work that I love and that I want to continue pursuing. I love to discover new cultures and meet new and interesting people. I have a traveled a little mostly in Europe but once to Brasil, Cape Verde and East Timor, I continue trying to do it as often as I can but in the most sustainable way possible. I love to cook, specially with music and friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mainly for the possibility to live the experience of a new place directly from someone local. With Couchsurfing we have the opportunity to meet interesting people that has the same idea of traveling and community.

Music, Movies, and Books

It's very difficult to point out a favorite music, but right now I'm listening a lot of contemporary classical music and a lot of Olafur Arnalds. With movies and books is even harder, so let's stay with I like intelligent comedies and I really like Tarantino's work, and I'm finishing the last book of 'The Girl with the dragon tattoo' series and really enjoying it.
