ABOUT ME

I'm an easygoing, optimistic and spontaneous person. I want to learn about the world and about life in all kind of ways and I think that the best way to do that is to meet new people with different cultural backgrounds and opinions. I love a good laugh, to taste new food and to discover new places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently have no couch available, but I do love to meet up with new people. So if you feel like I can teach you something about Ghent, or if you're just up for coffee or whatsoever, please contact me.

Interests

I studied literature in university and think that books and poetry are another way of traveling in space and time. I'm interested in art and music, and I like 'underground' stuff because it makes me feel as if I'm seeing or doing something more unique. I try to spend my free time travelling. I love languages (I speak Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, French, English a little bit of German and I can understand some basic Italian). I love good food. I love nice weather. I love to dance. I love flee markets. I love concerts, art expositions, museums...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Basically I'm mind blown every time I walk around a new city and I realize how beautiful the world is. One of the most amazing experiences in my life was to get the possibility to live in Barcelona for six months. I love everything about that city and it is great that I can now visit the friends I've made there from all around the world and feel like home in lots of cities.
Other amazing things: going to a wedding in Mexico, seeing the beauty of Galicia's nature, being overwhelmed by the mountains next to Florence, playing in the amazing amount of snow in Sweden, ...
