Hey guys! 👋🏽 I’m Sílvia, born and raised in Porto, Portugal 🇵🇹 . Currently living in Portsmouth (south coast of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 ) and working here as a nurse. I love meeting new people and getting to know different cultures. I’ve joined Couchsurfing mostly to meet people around the world, specially when I travel by myself!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing because I’ve heard about it since years ago and it’s something I really want to try!

I think it’s an amazing way to get the best out of two worlds: connecting with interesting and different people and saving money while traveling (which equals to more traveling 😏😜).

Music, Movies, and Books

My taste in music is soooo diverse that you won’t understand. I can go from Pop to Reagge, Rock or Funk on the same day, depending on my mood.

I love going to the cinema, but I don’t watch as many movies as I’d like to. And I never know anything about actors, directors, etc, so forgive me for my ignorance... 😆
On the other hand, I’ve been watching some interesting series lately, mostly thanks to Netflix. From Narcos, to GoT, La Casa de Papel or documentaries.

Although I used to read more some years ago, I still like reading a book once in a while. The latest ones I’ve read are mostly about mindfulness and inspirational life stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had was being part of a retreat that happened on a really lovely community called Taizé, in France 🇫🇷 . It’s a place where you can meet people from all over the world and the energy there is so positive that it just makes you feel happy!
