Teach, Learn, Share

I love to show my own city around and I have been a free tourist guide to many people I randomly encounter around Lisbon. I know a lot about its history and I always have a great pleasure in teaching travelers about its history and culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach how to play the piano ( I started when I was only 6 years old).
I can cook you some fine Portuguese meals
I can teach you how to juggle.
We can go out and dance, or stay indoors and chat about every topic of your desire.
Either drink, eat and rest or do sports and be active, I am in for the ride :-)

I´ve worked at a Eco Surfcamp in Vila Nova de Milfontes (Portugal), in a music studio, gave school lessons to poor kids from my city, served at a table, worked at my university´s newspaper… I also worked as a volunteer in a monastery, helping young children and babies with severe forms of autism and very debilitating cerebral palsy.
I am always willing to learn and to try new things you may need :-)
