CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy my life the best I can, improve every day and make good friends along the way.

ABOUT ME

Hey there! I live in Albufeira, one of the most vibrant cities in the Algarve. In 2009 I've finished my studies at the university (Informação Turística / Tourist Information), meaning that one of the things I enjoy the most is to show my wonderful country to the tourists.
I consider myself a friendly, calm, easy-going person but I guess I'll leave the rest for my friends to describe.
If you ever consider the possibility of coming here, don't hesitate in contacting me, even if it's just to get some tips :)

Ich spreche auch Deutsch. / También hablo Español. / Naturalmente, falo Português.

PHILOSOPHY

- Nothing is impossible.
- What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
- Sprachen beherrschen heisst die Welt verstehen. / To master languages means to understand the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

- Attended some Language Exchange Meetings;
- Met some Couchsurfers - especially German-speaking ones so far - to do Tandems (language exchanges).

So far, I have only great things to say about the events I have attended and the people I have met.

Music, Movies, and Books

- Braveheart, Matrix and Forrest Gump are my 3 favourite movies
- I can listen to almost everything, but I'm especially into 80's rock and pop... in the clubs, the House/Techno rules ;)
- Tourism- and History-related books are the ones I read the most right now

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At the university I had to do 4 exams in just one day and by the end of it I felt kinda half dead lol..

Studied German for 7 years, did a Leonardo da Vinci programme in Augsburg, an internship in Berlin, many Tandems/language exchanges and watch 5 German series regularly on the TV... and still I'm not even close from being tired of it :) nor as fluent speaking the language as I'm hoping to become one day :p

Teach, Learn, Share

As I've studied to become a tour guide, I guess my knowledge of my country's history/culture/places/language is the best thing I have to offer anyone, together with my experience concercing my 'Portugueseness', which (probably) makes me see the world in a different way when comparing to a foreigner.
I'm quite into History and languages and love to hear about different cultures and experiences, ways of living and of dealing with any type of situations.
