Hello!! :)

I'm a 24 years old vet student in Portugal, with a curious mind and a huge passion for animals. My dream is to become a wildlife animal doctor, and I've been working hard to achieve it! I want to travel the world saving injured and endangered animals, learning about the diversity and understanding nature! Recently I found out that by studying animal reproduction, we can help endangered species that without assisted reproduction techniques would be extinct in a much faster rate. So this is where I'm turning my field of studies to!

Besides this, I love to explore new places and I get tired of being in one place for too long. I have an open mind and I like to meet new people and get to know their stories because every person is different and has a lot to teach :) I am a bit shy when I first meet someone but I am working on that! I do like to hang out, go for a beer and chat! But I also like to be alone sometimes.

I just try to live my life day by day, trying to find happiness in the little things. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think is a very interesting way to travel, to get to know the place I'm visiting by the eyes of local people that can teach more then any travel guide.
To host people from all over the world, get to know their culture a bit and teach them about my culture and the place i live.

Interests

Besides my passion for animals and veterinary medicine, which is how I spend most of my time, I can also say I like music very much, in fact i studied for 6 years classical music. Reading good books and travel blogs (since i can't be traveling all the time, i like to learn about other people adventures).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently I made my childhood dream come true: I went to Africa for 2 months for my final practice internship of the degree, to work with lions! I was involved in a research project on reproduction. And because of that I found my path...

Teach, Learn, Share

Because travelling is the best way of learning, I'm always interested in getting to know other fellow travellers and locals of places I'm visiting! I can learn so much from them and I can also share some things about my own country and maybe a bit of the countries I've been...

What I Can Share with Hosts

A big smile and maybe a good time chatting and hanging out! :D
Plus I always try to bring some sweets from the country I was before for you ahah ;) (not a promise though!)
