About Me

Ever since I finished my Masters in Psychology I've been traveling across the world, either working with different NGO’s or simply wandering and discovering. I've been currently travelling around Asia, which has always been a dream of mine. Always looking forward to meet people along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been traveling a lot since the end of 2017, either doing work related with Community Psychology or just discovering. Meeting people throughout my journey is the best way to ensure a good trip anywhere, I am always up to share my time and have good times with the ones I meet on my travels!

Also before I knew about the couchsurfing community I used to host people both when I lived in Lisbon and in Barcelona. Showing local spots, cooking and going out with my guests was always something I enjoyed doing. Hope I can do it again when I finish my big trip!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most remarkable things I can think of was teaching skateboarding to children in Palestine. There aren't enough words to express my gratitude to Palestinians, such kind-hearted people. While there I hitchhiked over 100 times in 30 days, ate tons of superb falafel, fell in love with the incredible landscapes and was warmly welcomed in their community. One love habibi!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always open to learn something new, that is one of the reasons why I travel :)
I can share my life adventures, cooking skills (I ain't no chef though ahah), and positive vibes (that's why we're here right?).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Positive energy and a good time :) I like to hear and share travel stories and interests. I also offer to do domestic tasks and cook a dish or two!
