Hello. I’m Sheldon Pereira.

I am working in consumer qualitymanagement department for an FMCG industry in Hamburg since 2014.

My background:

When it comes to my heritage, I'm more of an alien on this planet than a human due to the colourful multi-cultural background i'm bestowed. I'm portuguese as I was born in Goa, India, but my family moved to Ireland as I was just entering my teenage years.

I was schooled in Ireland, where I also successfully completed my B.Sc. However, Ireland being a nice place was not the place I wanted to be as an young adult. I wanted a challenging environment, discover new things, get to know new people. So, I decided to move to Bremen, Germany, where I finished my M.Sc. in Industrial & Applied Biology.

I would have never thought I would fall in love with the city. At the age of 22 with no previous German language skill & no friends, I was lucky to find in the first few months friends whom I can call today my most trustworthy treasure. I've learnt German, although, I am not native speaker, I can speak, write, listen and understand, which is as close as I can get to a native speaker, I believe. Plus, I got my C1 certificate, which qualifies me to be native German speaker :D

I was lucky enough to receive various opportunities here and there before getting an offer I couldn't refuse to work for my present company, which was great as it meant, I did not had to leave Bremen or Germany in general.

I'm a talkative, fun-loving person who loves to meet new people, to laugh, and to have good conversations and find out more about the people around me. I am curious and a bit cheeky and I can be both outgoing and shy. I love being around my friends, exploring the city, partying and spending time outside (at the lake, having bbqs etc). I love travelling and want to see as much of the world as possible.

That's as short as it gets. Anything more you would like to know, please contact me personally.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Someone just mentioned this to me the other day. Me being always exploring new things, decided what the heck! Let's give it a try..
