Hello! I'm Cláudia, a Portuguese nurse and therapist, taking a break from my job (maybe temporary, maybe permanent, who knows 😅) and currently traveling in Asia 🌏
I love to travel, meet new people and learn their culture!
I am an empathetic, enthusiastic, respectful and open-minded person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be traveling around Asia for two years and I think that CS will be the best way to be in contact with local people, get to know the surroundings from their perspective and learn their habits, culture and language!

Interests

My favorite activities are definitely motorcycle riding and ocean related like surfing, swimming... and I love nature and the outdoors!!!
In these last years, with my travels, I discovered a new passion which is becoming bigger and bigger… hiking in the mountains 💚

Music, Movies, and Books

All kinds of music...although I'm not a big fan of metal ; p

I like movies in general, but I try to stay away from horror and violent movies...they give me nightmares! Hahaha.....

I love reading very much! Currently focused mainly on books on meditation, Buddhism, ecology, plants, alternative medicines, etc...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Break free from a formatted fate society had defined for me and start to live life fully 😜

Teach, Learn, Share

I have worked 12 years in the ER, first in pediatrics, then in adults and I am an NST therapist. So, from an academic/professional perspective, I would love to share my knowledge with those interested in the medical field.

Apart from that, I have always been a very manual person, so I always liked to do all kinds of DIY, handmade items, etc...

I love learning different things and new skills... at the moment especially looking for topics related to ecology such as permaculture and bioconstruction.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experiences, stories, my love of food and cooking, big laughs and good vibes!!!
