Hi!! My name is Anabela and i'm from a beautiful and sunny country - Portugal!

I'm a open minded, easy going and friendly person who likes to live and enjoy life!
I am a gratefulness person who apreciate the simple things of life: a real hug and a good conversation, a cup of coffee/tea or a glass of wine, watch the sea and feel the sun... ️

I love to explore new places, meet new people, cultures and different ways of living.

See you somewhere in this small world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm quite passionate to meet new people and discover new places. 🗺️

I've enjoyed the couchsurfing spirit since even before start using the app. I started to have this spirit since I was part of an international organization, AIESEC, and since I lived, during 3 years, in a students residence where I have meet different people.

I still keep in contact with everyone who lived for a while in Portugal.

I would like to go for a long travel after my brother's studies all over the world, so couchsurfing would be a perfect option to meet more people.

Also, I will have plenty of opportunities to practice my english and learn other language .
