I'm from Porto born and raised.

I enjoy to share my knowledge about my city and help travellers to get around and introducing them to all the cool places and activities that are not in usual travel guides and websites.

I really like to host, to cook, to have friends coming over for drinks or just for a coffee and also love to plan event.

I identify myself as an dog lover, a food enthusiast, a music addicted and a bit of a party animal.

I never miss a good party (good music is always a golden rule, there's no good party without top quality music) and I'm a regular at Porto's clubs like Plano B, Gare, Industria and Passos Manuel.

Weekend Brunch! My favorite meal ever! With a group of people or just a nice date or a friend, on a Sunday to laugh about the previous night's adventures or on Saturdays before checking the downtown fleamarket or going for a walk near the beach.

Late afternoon drinks, I find super relaxing to meet people for a glass of wine after work.

I absolutely love to eat! Portuguese cuisine is incredible but I'm always willing to try new things. I also enjoy cooking very much.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to host, to meet new people and learn about other cultures.

I also love to talk with travelers and hear about their trips and adventures around the world. I always wanted to be a traveller myself but never took that first step.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did voluntary work with children in Mozambique for two summers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Portuguese, knitting, cooking and cupcake baking.

I'm learning French so it would be nice to practice.

I'll share all I know about Portugal... Errr and If you are a girl I can also share make up tips ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am easy going and a very good company. I love children and animals and people in general. I can also talk for hours about pretty much anything but I know how to be quiet too, and as I see myself as a very sensitive person, I can easily adapt to any situation.

I'm super clean and tidy so I can always help with those tasks.

I'll gladly cook! :)
