I'm a 25 year-old Portuguese doctor, currently moving to Manchester to start work as a junior doctor. I went into Med School with a view to do volunteer work abroad, and have since done a little bit on Workaway to get a feel for the experience. I consider myself to be a very curious person, always ready to learn, and would be delighted to meet you and get to know all you have to show me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Over the course of a long journey in August 2018, I met a lot of people in the Coachsurfing community. They showed me such warmth and friendship that I could not help but join up and participate in this project.
