Overview
About Me
Hey people!
Back to couchsurfing 4 YEARS later! Ohh yeahhh
I am a Portuguese 28-years-old teacher living at the moment in Montpellier, who is always willing to meet new people! Always down to be in nature and to do any kind of nature sports, I also enjoy reading and hang with people, especially if you are able to talk for hours about History and languages. :)
I really like to spend my time reading and discovering new things as far as I am always looking for new experiences!
I make videos with my drone and love bike packing!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am on couchsurfing as this is quite a an alternative way of travelling, having the chance to meet new people with no agreements. When you travel, I guess the locals are the most interesting thing you can find.
I am back on Couchsurfing as I need to meet again people from elsewhere. Sometimes, I also can host near Menton, in the Côte d'Azur. I may change my location so that you can know if you're able to apply and to crush at my place in that region.
