I am still figuring out really! But I am an extremely lucky girl for someone that it’s many times with my head in the clouds, I can’t be still for too long, I can only feel fulfilled if I am working for a big cause, I like to travel, I like to take risks, gathering people, surf (still learning), hick (my first time was some some months ago), camping, and so on!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
It's about the people! :D I love to hear about different ways of living, talk, share stories, believes, opinions... I am a very curious girl btw! I wish to host people, and I hope I'll be able to do it when I have my own house!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Cambodia was a big challenge for me, because it was my first solo trip. 2 months doing a teaching project with kids and teenagers. I've also had the opportunity to experience living in a Buddhist monastery meditating. Saying no to a big salary to go to Sweden, to try to pursue my dream of working for something meaningfull Skydiving was also nice ;)
Teach, Learn, Share
Let's talk about education, politics, history or just the weather. I am a great listener and I like to learn about everything!
What I Can Share With Hosts
Portuguese gastronomy is something you must try on, and luckily, I'm not a bad cook ;) I can also bring the famous and delicious Portuguese pastries :) I've given some tours in Lisbon, so I would love to host you in my home city by giving you a tour. I've stories to share and hope to hear yours too!
