About Me

Typical portuguese girl, born and raised on a small town planted on the beach (not that small, we do have a casino).
Left the beach for 5 years to study.
Spent 4 years behind the mountains (actual name of the region in portugal Tras-dos-montes), and in my final year decided that was a good idea to move to Bordeaux and live there for a year all by myself.
Back to beach now... and definitely working on my tan...
Maybe love flea markets too much, and a little obsessed with vinyls and second hand books...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and new places... couchsurfing puts those things together. there is no better experience than travel and have the opportunity to meet the people that make that place possible... those persons give the soul to a place... and I would love the opportunity to find new souls.

Interests

I love to get lost, in places and cities I don't know; in amazing books; in breathtaking music... and sometimes I manage to mix all of them together...
And maybe I get too excited with football (just sometimes).

Music, Movies, and Books

Love rock music... but my favorite of all time is Bob Dylan... and of course as a good portuguese I love Fado...
I enjoy indie movies (still obsessed with happysaythankyoumore), but won't say that sometimes I just need a good superheroes movies or one of those simple romantic comedies...
I like criminal books, and fantasy books (something to do with harry potter), and everything Jose Saramago writes...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Don't know if I ever did something amazing... but always had those little moments that felt amazing...

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach you a little Portuguese and somethings about my culture, mostly how to cook amazing portuguese typical food.. (also know a little bit too much about high school level chemistry)
Always prepare to learn, learning about the places and the people... learning everything, just getting the biggest possible knowledge from everyone...
Like I said before I would love to share knowledge... about books, places, music, art...
