About Me

Hi! I'm originally from Portugal, but currently on a working holiday in Australia. After studying Journalism and working in TV production for a couple years, I decided to pack my bags, postpone adult life for another year and move to the opposite side of the world to work in farms and travel the land down under.

I haven't couchsurfed much yet...only a couple times during a study exchange in Norway, but I've enjoyed every experience so far and it seems like now is the perfect time to give it another go.

I'm a friendly person, carefree, love travelling more than anything else and meeting people from different cultures along the way. Can be a bit shy at first but I usually get over it :)
I'm passionate about animals, nature and the outdoors. I love a good hike, landscape and wildlife photography, sports and radical activities. A bit of an adrenaline junkie, you could say.
That being said, the thought of a lazy day, a good book and cup of coffee makes me just as happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find it more interesting to view a city/town through the eyes of a local rather than a travel guide.
