Overview
About Me
My main passions in life are learning languages and cultural experiences - I love both traveling and living abroad to immerse myself in the local culture. I try to seize every opportunity I can to make the most out of every day and live a life full of adventures!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to learn as much as possible about a culture and its people when I travel and get a deeper experiences than simply checking off sights of a list. I think couchsurfing allows you to do just that!
Interests
Apart from languages and traveling I enjoy politics, reading novels, dancing (especially Salsa!) and cooking.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can TEACH German and English, a bit of Salsa, and you can tell you some interesting psychology facts!
I want to LEARN Portuguese, how to cook local foods, pretty much anything of your culture and lifestyle!
