Hey there! I’m Susana, 30 years old. I live in Carcavelos, a coastal town 20 kms away from Lisbon and 10 kms away from Cascais. It’s a 5 minute walk to the beach from my place, so just bring your swimsuit/wetsuit and surfboard! You can also walk to the supermarket, the bakery and the many coffee shops nearby.

I’ve been living here all my life, so I’m more than fit to show you around the area, specially Cascais but also Sintra and, of course, Lisbon. We can relax at my place after, sharing a couple of beers in the garden and getting ready for the amazing meal you’re going to cook for us! (Well, I can cook myself, but you might regret it…)

I love riding my bike for hours, so I’d be totally up for a bike tour! I also love watching TV series and documentaries centered on strong characters from whom you can draw some kind of inspiration, so I’m always up for a home cinema kind of hangout. But of course if you want to go out for drinks and dancing I’ll be the first jumping on board!

I work as a Press Officer for a surf events company, so my labour schedule is kind of oscillatory. Anyway, I’m sure I’ll find time to hang out. I do surf myself, but only from time to time (read, when it’s sunny outside and the waves are small).

My brain does get rusty sometimes when it comes to speaking English but I’m sure I’ll be fine after a couple of hours of English speaking interaction!

I'd be glad to welcome you to Portugal!

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to music randomly; in my current play list you could find stuff as random as Future Islands, Benjamin Clementine, Blood Orange, Sufjan Stevens, Queen, Goldfrapp, Lionel Richie, Vinicius de Moraes, Caetano Veloso, Adriana Calcanhoto and some portuguese underground bands.

I'll be up to watching anything starring Meryl Streep, Doona Bae, Viola Davis, Julie Delpy or coming out of the brilliant Wachowskis minds!

Also addicted to Sense8 (best TV show ever!), How To Get Away With Murder, House of Cards and Orange is The New Black.
