Heyy

I'm Alexandra, 21. I'm from Lisbon but i lived in London for the past 3 years where I was studying jewellery design in University of the Arts London. Before that was studying in an arts high school also specialising in goldsmithing and metalwork:)

Next year will do my master's degree in anthropology, so I am taking advantage of this ‘gap year’ to get to know new people, countries and experiencing different cultures.
I have been travelling since November mainly doing workaways and since then i’ve been to 11 different countries and now i’m heading towards Germany:)

also fully covid-19 vaccinated

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined couch surfing since its the perfect way to get to know locals and other travellers.
