I'm a 27 year-old doctor from Lisbon who is absolutely convinced her life will always involve some kind of travelling. I love to meet new people and get to know their culture and language (my goal is to able to count to 10 in every language!!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've discovered that the truest way to get to know a city and its culture is with locals. Couchsurfing allows us to do exactly this: we can get to know some of the most real places of a city while also sharing our experiences!
