Well, I’m a Spanish and Portuguese student in London. (Plot twist, I’m actually Filipino but 10 years down the line I now sound like someone from Downton Abbey). So yea - very cultural, here to make friends and basically have fun! Hit me up? (I’m basically a Brasileiro-Andaluz).
Interested in Cooking

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Cos I’d like to meet new people, practice languages and discover new cultures!

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Go to University in the centre of London whilst getting to know people of different cultures (alongside known Portuguese authors - like David Machado and Dulce Maria Cardoso). I also lived out of the UK for a year, in Lisbon and Cadiz. In Lisbon, I lived in Baixa, and in Cádiz in the Casco Antiguo - taking a dip once in awhile at Jerez and Seville. Do the Camino de Santiago from Sarria, nearly died but made it to the end!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you more about the cultures I’m learning about, as well as my own native Filipino culture ! - I can also cook? (I can make a great latte and chili con carne)
