Hi! I'm Monica and I was born in Canada but I live in Portugal. I live in a village named Benedita and I'm a teacher in different areas such as Arts, Primary School and Special Needs. In my spare time I like to dance, walk in the nature, swim and gather around with my friends. I do volunteer work in a group that protects abandoned animals, dogs and cats. I love to travel but most of all I like to learn about other cultures and habits. I also like to experiment the food and sweets of each place that I travel to. I consider myself to be respectful, responsible and a neat person. But I also love a good laugh and to talk about anything.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I heard about Couchsurfing from a friend. I think it's amazing the possibility to enter someones home from the city that we are visiting to exchange life experiences and to have some help with the visit.

音乐、电影和书籍

I like music in geral but have a special favorite towards the influence of jazz, blues, gospel and country music, I guess because of my childhood in Canada.

I also like music I can dance with. Love dancing bachata and salsa.

I like a good movie, it could be in any type. Maybe only terror movies scare me...

I give preference to reading books about psychology.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I loved traveling in Africa and making a safari. Africa and African culture is fascinating.

I love to do volunteer work. Already made a lot in Portugal and last year in Kenya.
