Hello! I am a 23 year old Portuguese girl currently working and living in Lisbon, Portugal. I am an avid traveller, I love meeting and getting immersed in new cultures and I'm constantly looking for the next adventure! I was born in Macau (an ex-Portuguese colony) but grew up in Lisbon, where I lived until I was 17 years old, when I moved to England for 5 years to pursue my Bachelor and Master's degree.

Having graduated from my Masters' last September, I moved back home to Lisbon where I now work as a Junior Consultant and Researcher for a criminal justice boutique company. Luckily, my work allows me to work remotely which I have taken great advantage of! I often work from Montréal (Canada), where my boyfriend is from, and I am currently working from Brazil for two weeks (I have come to visit my sister, who is studying Medicine here).

I am a respectful, flexible, easy going, open-minded person and I really enjoy meeting new people from all ages and backgrounds!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I have never used Couchsurfing before, I believe it is a great way to visit new places as it allows me to meet new people and make connections, while also being able to save up on accomodation costs! I am really looking forward to my first Couchsurfing experience :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have hiked Portugal's highest mountain (2,351m elevation), which is named Pico Mountain and located in Pico Island (one of the islands of the Azores). It was a very challenging but very gratifying and unique experience which I would recommend to anyone! The views from the top are absolutely breathtaking and definitely worth the hike!
