Hello! I’m Marta, a portuguese girl who always wanted to be an architect but now that I’m studying for become one I’m not sure If I want to do this for the rest of my life. Unfortunately, I'm realizing people don't recognize how much work is necessary to actually achieve it. It’s an undervalued job, at least in my country.
When I have a second to breathe between college assignments I like to paint watercolors for my own personal enjoyment but people keep telling me to sell them, maybe one day... Other passion of mine is fashion design.
I'm a very determined and independent person. In addition to that I’m very perfectionist, which is not necessarily a good quality because I’m always too hard on myself.
To finish, I'm quiet and shy when you first meet me, but once I'm used to you I'm very talkative! ;) / Fev. 2015

P.s: I used to share my flat with Carolina. You can see the references in her profile. https://www.couchsurfing.com/users/2000118826
