About Me

P.S. I live like 25 min by bus from the city center. The bus leaves you right in front of my place. My address is ''Praceta das areias 9. zip code 4435-111. check on map if it suits you before reach me plz.

Because of not living anymore in the city center (but around), I don't really host anymore, but I leave my status on ´´maybe hosting´´ because I know sometimes depending on the season it can be hard to find hosts.
So if you had difficulty finding a host and won't mind not staying in the center, you can message me and if I am available it will be my pleasure to host you.

"Hi, I was born in Luanda and currently lived in Portugal since I was 19. I'm a big fan of traveling and love exploring new places whenever I can. Also, I love movies, TV series, anime, Disney, superhero movies, and sitcoms. I like to get involved in exciting stories and get carried away by the adventures of the characters.

Although I am a bit of an introvert, I love meeting new people and expanding my social circle. I believe that life is much more interesting when we have amazing people around us, sharing unique moments and unforgettable experiences.

I also have a great interest in photography and video editing. Furthermore, I enjoy capturing special moments and turning them into lasting memories. And speaking of collecting memories, I am a big collector of Pop Funkos. I love having these iconic characters in my home, showing my passion for movies and pop culture.
I do love music too and TBH I am a bit eclectic on this one I love dancing even though I suck at it, but I love it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, learning about different cultures, and hearing the stories that travelers have to tell.

Through Couchsurfing, I have had the opportunity to host travelers from all over the world in my home and have also stayed with local guests on my own travels. Each experience has taught me something new and allowed me to expand my horizons. I made many friends for life here, and we met each other again around.

Besides traveling, I love trying new dishes, learning about history, and exploring nature. I am an open and friendly person, always excited to meet new people and make new friends.

If you are also a travel lover, love to explore new cultures, and meet interesting people, feel free to connect with me here on Couchsurfing or on other social networks. Let's share our stories and experiences together!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a huge music lover! I can't go a day without listening to some kind of sound, and it doesn't matter if it's rock, pop, R&B, samba, kizomba or any other genre, I love them all equally!

My playlist is a real mixtape, ranging from Celine Dion to Linkin Park, through 90's and 2000's R&B, movie and anime soundtracks, and of course Angolan and Brazilian music. For me, music is a way to connect with different cultures and people around the world.

When it comes to movies, I don't have an absolute favorite, but I have a great feeling of nostalgia for the romantic comedies of the 80s and 90s. I think these movies remind me of a simpler time and make me feel good. And speaking of nostalgia, I am a huge fan of Marvel movies and watch them all! I love seeing the stories connect and get emotional every time I watch.

Last but not least, my favorite anime is Food Wars. I am a huge fan of cooking and love the way this anime mixes food, drama, and comedy into one story.

Oh, I can't believe I forgot to mention that! Besides being a music and movie lover, I am also a huge fan of the Percy Jackson books! I love the way Rick Riordan mixes Greek mythology with adventure and humor in one story. I've read all the books in the series and every time I finish one, I feel a sense of emptiness, as if I've left a magical world behind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I have ever done was to travel alone to unknown places. Exploring new places without the presence of friends or family was a unique experience that allowed me to grow and get to know myself better.

P.S. There was this crazy day when unexpected things happened, and I hosted 8 people at my place, it was so crazy that I had to put a tent on the balcony and sleep there!!
Another curiosity is that when I moved to a new apartment, the old one stayed with the couch-surfers I was hosting at the time xD!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Besides sharing good stories and strange jokes, I can guarantee that I will share my good humor and joy with you throughout your stay.

Furthermore, I want to make it clear that I will always abide by the house rules and do my best to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. You can trust me to take care of your space and treat your home with the same respect and care that I would treat my own home.
