About Me

Currently a student at Tokyo University of Foreign Studies studying public history (20th century Portuguese history). Slowly but surely trying to make my way around Japanese cities and excited to meet many incredible people along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in the simple life and the adventures it brings. Love to meet people and share. Life stories and cultural exchange.

Interests

Travelling is only the bonus to meeting new people. I have been travelling for a year and am eager for new adventures. I love to learn different languages and see how different cultures work.
Love to hear about new music and create a travel playlist from the songs recommended to me by the people I have met.
