About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To tell a great story!

ABOUT ME

I'm a biologist currently working in my home town - PORTOOOOO!!!! I have a passion for travelling, meeting people, knowing different places and learning everything there is to know about it; writing stories, dreaming, reading and dreaming a bit more! And... dancing dancing dancing!! I love showing my city around, driving people to those little special corners that the eye of the common tourist can't reach. And this is not ALL about me - "all about you"? that's not easy... I'm leaving some space for SURPRISE!!! :)

PHILOSOPHY

I have to live my life, otherwise someone else will do it for me! It's a really good life...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The best way I can: hosting, showing people around, getting together, teaching about my country, being ready to absorb other cultures, presenting my own culture and my way of living and expecting a little more than a "free accomodation".

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I really enjoy "surfing" but I truly love hosting!!!! All good experiences so far, from all around the globe! I had imagine that CS's experiences would be pleasant, I would meet lots of people and have a good time. I could never imagine I would make true friends, I would know my own city in a way I never did before and I would have such fantastic stories!! It is, for sure, the best idea ever!

Interests

It's so hard for me to list the things i'm interested in. So many... I love science, poetry, cinema, parties, sports, music, a good conversation, the end of a day well spent... I want to write a book, play the guitar, go out with my friends, dance all day long, study, travel and work. If only i had a bigger day... :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Books! Authors of my heart: Eça de Queirós and Marion Zimmer Bradley. And many others... (so many!!)
Movies! "Dead poets society" and, of course, 'cause I'm a girl!, " Dirty Dancing"!! And, again, so many others... (It's really hard to choose!)
Music! Better, instrument: guitar. I love music, but here I can't really choose!
