Overview
About Me
Who am I? Well, that's so hard to put in words. I’m a 30-year-old portuguese woman that works as a family doctor but is passionate about so many other things! Music is in my heart and soul… I love to sing, specially with my choir (the one I founded myself!). Besides that, I love cooking and traveling, board games and comedy… I think I am very easy going, flexible and open minded person and with a good sense of humor!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
This is what the 23-year-old me wrote 7 years ago: “one of the best traveling experiences I've ever had happened while staying with locals in Poland. As I'm a traveling and food lover, I believe my future trips won't be complete without living and sharing knowledge with natives”.
Today, in my 30s, that’s still true, but at the moment I’m sometimes traveling for slight longer periods for work purposes (medical congress, internships,…) and staying with locals would be a way to benefit from the cultural exchange, feel like home abroad and have an immersive experience. And of course… not spending as much money!

Music, Movies, and Books
When it comes to music I must say I like almost everything: from classic to pop music. I were influenced mostly by my parents and cousins interests, so that's why for instance I'm a huge fan of Bryan Adams and 80's music in general, but at the same time I'm into symphonic metal like Nightwish. One of my passions is also to sing!
Cinema is another big passion as well. My favourite movie is perhaps "La vita è bela"
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I did volunteer work in Mozambique for 5 weeks with a team of 5 other medicine students
