Hi! Our names are Bernardo and Beatriz :)

I (Bernardo) studied Literature and Beatriz studied Ceramics, and right now we both study Film in Lisbon, Portugal, which is where we live!

We are studying in Erasmus in Berlin right now and would like to get to know this country (and its neighbours) better and to practice our foreign languages (especially German) :) In general, we are interested in german and european culture and looking to learn more about it and contact with it more deeply!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We're looking to get a taste of the world!

Interests

What I love most in the world is reading, especially when I'm traveling! I also really like watching films, both alone and with my girlfriend, Beatriz!, and also with my friends!

We both like photography and the visual arts!

Beatriz is also very interested in Ceramics, which is what she studied before we met! She also studied Music and plays saxophone and violin, while I play the ukulele and guitar!
