About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finding what in the world makes me move

ABOUT ME

I used to be a typical portuguese girl...now I don't know if that is true any more. During the last 4 years I have met a lot of amazing people and made some good friends around the world (Europe mostly I admit).

After a 6 months in California, I have moved back to Copenhagen. I really enjoy the city and it's amazing quality of life.

about my personality...easygoing, down to earth,laid back (off work)..great fan of a good dry joke and a good coffee and / or beer..Love to cook!
scientific mind that doesn´t resist to the charms of the arts (music addict) and tiny little details of beauty.

PHILOSOPHY

enjoy the best of everything, assuring I don't prevent anyone to do the same :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

During the 6 months I spent in Southern Califonia, I meet quite a few local CS'ers during LA, Orange County meeting and events. Wherever I move next (Europe) I'll do my best in getting to know the local CS'ers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Slept on a couple of couches..been to some meetings and met a lot of cool people!

Interests

Music, music and music: almost everything can be found on my cds/mp3 collection.
There is a perfect song/track for every moment. My ultimate dream would be to do a soundtrack of a movie :)
Prefered genres: soul and funk (the oldies and the new stuff..and it includes remixes), electronic and indie/alternative rock

I love cooking, and nothing relaxes more than to spend a couple of hours in the kitchen cooking with the music playing in the background.

Also a good photo, makes my day.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: see Interests
Movies: the first in the top list is Il Postino.
Books: in the last months I haven't read as much as I would like.
I will just mention the book that rescues me in the days I start having existencial doubts about the relevance of what I have chosen to do..."the Meaning of All - Reflexions of a scientist-citzen" by R. P Feynmman.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The sun rise in the lakes in CPH.
It was a 2min experience. As I was standing on one of the bridges, I could see the two lakes to east reflecting the sun and the two to west still dark..
I wish I had a camera,but I didnt.
