Overview
About Me
I'm a 19 year old student, graduating in Scientific area. I used to practice Judo, Rugby, Swimming and Volley, but now I just go to gym. I do some volunteering in an association named Re-food.
I'm living with my parents and my grandmother, so I don't have spare room to host guests.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
A friend of mine, recommended me this amazing web site, and thought, as I can't host people, maybe I can be useful in other ways.
I would really like to get to know people from other countries, and help them to know more about Lisbon and portuguese culture.
Interests
I love practicing sports. I used to be federated in Judo, and used to play Rugby, Volley and Swimming. I like most of all kinds of music, and cooking is really my passion. You can expect tasty meals if you wish to meet. I also spend a lot of time reading and watching tv series.

Music, Movies, and Books
My favourite bands are The Chainsmokers and ABBA. I like musicals a lot and old school songs. I'm an huge fan of Harry Potter, and J.K.Rowling of course. I'm really into the new kind of writing that has been emerging these days, as Divergent collection, Hunger Games and Maze Runner. I'm very keen of movies as The Sound of Music, but Science Fiction movies also get my full atention, so The Anomaly and Marvel are among my favourite ones.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Well, this is very subjective, but my trip to London in 2014 was probably the most daring and brave thing I've ever done.
I went to London to study, in a summer course, all by myself, for two weeks. I didn't know anyone there, except maybe, for one uncle of mine, but very distant family. I stayed in an host family, that I didn't know 'till I get there, and I had to do all my way to school everyday alone. Even though that might look usual in other countries, portuguese people sometimes are afraid of what might happen to young kids alone in a foreign country, so I consider it an huge conquer, because my parents allowed me to go, and encouraged me.
Teach, Learn, Share
This is funny! I'll try to summarize it. I can teach you how to cook fantastic portuguese meals. I can teach you portuguese and also I would like to take you with me to my volunteering centre, because I'm sure you would really like it.
I would really like to improve my language skills, in English and French, but I'm also interested in other languages, as Spanish, because mine's too weak. I can also say some words in other languages, the minimum that I obligated myself to learn, in case I ever need it. So, those languages are German, Italian, Ukranian and Japonese.
I can share with you my happiness, my knowledge of Lisbon and my food and "friends".
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm not hosting anyone, until I get my own house, despite that, you are welcome to come and have lunch/dinner at my house, and taste one of my mom's amazing meals.
