I love learning new languages, meeting new cultures and exploring new cities. I'm half Swedish half Portuguese but my first language is English.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to explore more places and meet new cultures and people!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've saved 5 stray animals (plus countless little birds and lizards), I've helped pick up all the trash from the woods near a place where I used to live and I tend to save my leftover food from restaurants to then give to beggars I cross in the street.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy helping people learn languages and I know many random little things. I love cooking and sharing different traditional dishes, and I love knowing new music genres and artists!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My silly humour, willingness to wash the dishes and a relaxed attitude :P
