CURRENT MISSION

To continue to pick myself up when I fail and take deep sweet pleasure when I succeed

ABOUT ME

Living in berlin now. Trying to find an elusive apartment. Lived in Porto for 3 years, teaching English in the evenings and acting in interactive plays throughout the north of portugal. It was a wonderful experience as I got to see random little Portuguese villages I might never have had the inclination to visit otherwise and also interact with mentalities that differ from the bigger city of Porto.
I am known to be a bit crazy at times-love going out and dancing-i used to bore my friends by insisting we go to the reggae night each wednesday, i really enjoyed showing people around Porto especially those hidden places you only really get to know if you live there (i remember the happiness i felt when i was shown around by a local)
Apart from that I love to talk, dicuss anything from art, film and literature to really bad dirty jokes.

PHILOSOPHY

Accept and embrace the differences, attributes and flaws in all (or at least try)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to meet up with people, take a walk around the city and have a coffee and then if we hit it off of course my couch is available!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never actually hosted anyone directly through here, but I have many friends that have and I have been part of their experience, lending a bed or couch when needed.

Interests

I enjoy walking, dancing and generally interacting with people. Beautiful architecture can make me cry (the result of being brought up by two architects). I am obssessed by film, especially films from the 50's and 60's. I am in love with vinyl and my only regret is that I dont have my record player and my vinyls over here in Germany.
