I am an 18-year-old student from London, I am very interested in learning about different cultures and about new music, films, art, food etc. that go with it!

I am very much looking forward to travelling to Portugal for a whole month and improving my Portuguese and being immersed in a culture I am so interested in. I can't wait to visit all of the galleries, cafés, markets, beaches and everything Portugal has to offer and trying to immerse into it (and top up on my tan).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to expand my knowledge of the Portuguese language currently and get to know the people and have discussions about mutual interests as thats why we are all here pretty much!!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Thee Oh Sees, Wire, DUDS, Omni, Sun Ra, Corridor, Capitão Fausto, Quim Barreiros ;), Boogarins etc. there is very little I don't like

I am a massive Jim Jarmusch fan and Jean Luc Godard, Agnes Varda, Greta Gerwig and loads others

I haven't read majorly in a while but I have a massive stack of books to get through this summer and am very keen on receiving recomendations :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am looking to improve my Portuguese while I am in Porto, my girlfriend and her family are all from the north (Póvoa De Varzim) and I really want to talk to them more in their native language as they make such an effort in English. I also absolutely love cooking and especially Portuguese cooking and am so excited by the prospect of cheap fresh ingredients at markets etc.

I can also play quite a few instruments if you are into that we could play together :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you would like to learn an instrument I could definitely teach you a few things or maybe discuss films/music as they are my passions :)))
