Hello! I am 21 years old, I live near Lisbon, I play piano since I was 5 years, I like to write music, travel and act on musicals. My biggest dream is to perform elphaba 's role on wicked, I love marine biology, and someday I will go to Antarctica and to Tonga to swimm with the Whales.
People I know say I'm like a firework, you will probably like my company. I'm a really enthusiastic person, specially when I talk about musical theatre.

Philosophy?
"There's only us, there's only this
Forget, regret, or life is yours to miss
No other road, no other way
No day but today" - An amazing part from Rent (It's a musical, you should see it someday, or at least the movie).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Wagner, Rachmaninoff and Lizt, Stravinsky and Ligeti on music. Sometimes I listen to Beyoncé because she has an amazing voice. Most of times I listen musical theatre music, such as Les Miserables, Wicked, Rent, Book of Mormon, The phantom of the opera, Lion King, Miss Saigon, Funny Girl, Legally blonde, sometimes I'm in the vibe to listen Mamma mia and Hairspray (the original broadway versions). I like Disney and someday I would like to act on musicals about disney princesses/stories.
In books, I like José Saramago.
I have a list of the best movies i've seen and they all made me cry. An Example? Life is beautiful, Life of pi, French Suite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
