Hi there, my name is Sandra! I was born and raised in Braga, Portugal. Moved to London, UK, where I stayed for 10 years and living a new adventure now in Sofia, Bulgaria. I'm super passionate about history, sociology, psychology! I love documentaries, reading, meditating, music , dancing, netflix and chill! I recently discovered the pleasure of travelling alone.... and I'm addicted :D
I'm fascinated by different cultures! Different languages! I'm super curious and interested!
I'm super communicative but also super respectful of each ones space and time.
It's my first in this adventure and I can't wait to meet you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Please be aware that the only reason I'm "not accepting visitors" is because I'm currently living with my whole family of 4, my 67 year old dad, my younger siblings and my dog in a 2 bedroom apartment.

I want to have real experiences and meet locals! I'm super easy going, I'm open to meet the city with you, the same way am fine going alone :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a very large taste in music! I'm a rock girl for sure! And Grunge is where my heart is! But I also like to dance, from Brazilian music, Snoop Dog, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Queen, Alice in Chains, SoundGarden, Green Day, Fiona Apple to shake my ass to Anitta! It all depends on the mood and the set up!

Right now, I'm reading Women Who Run with the Wolves: Myths and Stories of the Wild Woman Archetype, from Clarissa Pinkola Estés, and I totally recommend it!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Never be afraid of starting over.
At 26 I moved to London, alone, with money for 1 month and ended up there for 10 amazing years! At 38, I'm in Bulgaria, learning the Cyrillic alphabet!

Teach, Learn, Share

Kindness is not weakness! It's my principle in life. So much, I tattooed it on my back :D I deeply believe and live by it!
We all humans and deserve to be happy! If everyone helps a little bit, it's not hard in anyone!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have plenty of funny and adventures to share! From meeting Johnny Deep or bungee jumping from a hot balloon in Bulgaria or going to Chernobyl! Hope you tell me yours! We will share laughs for sure! We should definitely share a meal!
