This is Ana , I’m from Portugal but been living in Dubai for the past 4 years. Last year i was travelling the world and really enjoyed staying with locals as i felt it's the best way to truly see a city! I’m easy going people, friendly and very enthusiastic!
I am an architect, I've lived/ worked in London and Dubai. I have a passion for urban places, big cosmopolitan cities, crowded places, busy markets! I love to walk around and discover what the city has to offer, I feel like every time I get lost wondering around I end up finding some cool spot completely off the track!
When I travel, my favourite way of recording memories is (a part from photos), sketching and writing. I normally keep a travel sketch book with me all the time!
My family back in Portugal have always had dogs, so I definitely think of myself as a dog lover! Currently we have 3 beautiful dogs back at my parents house which I miss a lot :)
I am a very easy going person, I always love to meet new people and mostly to learn about other ways of life, other cultures, other people's perspectives and different personalities! I find impressive how much you can learn from a place from just talking to people who actually live there!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
