I am a 22 years old girl born and raised in Lisbon, Portugal. After I finished high school, at 17, I moved on my own to Edinburgh, Scotland, to start university studying International Hospitality & Tourism Management. For my second year, I had to get an internship during the second semester, so I decided to go to France and was lucky enough to work in a 4 star hotel (Hotel New York) in Disneyland Paris, where I had the time of my life! For the second semester of my third year, I decided to do an exchange program, that gave me the opportunity to study in St. Catharines, a town close to the Niagara Falls, in Canada. After graduating in the spring of 2017, I had the chance of going on a J1 visa to the USA, where I spent 6 months working in Florida and where I currently am in North Dakota! It's been a great experience!

As you can see, although I am quite young, I love to travel and meet new people all over the world, and I take every opportunity I can get to do so.

I also love learning new languages, being fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, French and English. I am currently learning Italian which is going quite well, and I have a basic level of Mandarin (Chinese) that I want to carry on studying. Apart from that I know bits of Dutch and Greek, and would love to be taught more!

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I joined couchsurfing because my brother used it a lot in his years after university, so I had the pleasure of hosting people in my house during the summer. After 6 years, I am still in contact with the people I met, and that is the experience that I want to have, now that it's my turn traveling the world.

I love the concept of couchsurfing and I think it's a great way of not only meeting new people but being able to understand their culture and share yours, mainly if you live in a different continent.

Интересы

I'd say that for the purpose of couchsurfing, my main interests are my love of traveling, meeting new people and learning new languages.

Музыка, кино и книги

2016 answer: I don't really have a favourite type of music, but after spending one semester in Canada, I think I'm done with Country... sorry! haha x
2018: I've been spending the last 4 months of my life in a small town in North Dakota... bring on the country and bluegrass music!

I hate horror movies. Apart from that, I like any type of movie that isn't too dumb because I just don't have patience for it, but I appreciate both time-passing romantic dramas, thrilling action movies (superheros lately with all of these movies coming out) and the good old comedies as well.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I left everything I knew in Europe at the age of 20 to study in Canada for one semester. I think that is quite amazing... and standing on the glass floor of Toronto's CN Tower, being extremelly afraid of heights!
