Overview
About Me
I consider myself an adventurer, full of joy and happiness. I love sports, nature people and their cultures, and I also have a huge crush with food, the tastes, the smells, and cook is without a doubt one of my biggest passions.
Travelling excites me and inspires me, so I spent the last two years doing it, visiting over 20 countries. In this journey I got to know myself better than ever, I grew up learning with the people I met on my way and I lived the most incredible adventure of my life.
Once I decided to go back to my country, I had the opportunity of giving lectures in Highschools and Universities about travelling and foreign experiences, having the possibility of sharing my own experience. What was so amazing!
I want to travel again, so I came to England to make some money, doing something i love too, cooking!
If you are around Norwich lets meet up!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think it's a good tool for travel as you can meeting people, most of the times locals with who you can share a good time. Getting to know the authencity of the place you're visiting, it's culture and maybe making a friend for life. And that's exactly what I'm looking for.
Interests
I'm interested in meeting people, get in touch with their different cultures and learn from them. Food, music, language, history... I tried to get as close as I can from them, so it leads me to have a more authentic and intense experience of the country / place I'm visiting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Amazing it's a relative, my whole life it's amazing!
In Mars 2016 I quit my job, I put my backpack on my shoulders and start to travel in europe, without a big plan, only willing to enjoy as much possible, meet people, their cultures and grow with them. I travel alone, with friends, people I met on my way, I lived my life at the edge during twenty-one months and managed to hitchhike from Portugal to Iran on 2017.
Teach, Learn, Share
Taught you portuguese language and culture (music, food, tradictions)
If you're interested I'm happy to share my adventures with you.
Once back to Portugal, I'll be glad to receive you in my place.
What I Can Share with Hosts
My culture, my personality and the stories of my life. And a good portuguese meal ;)
