Hello! Pretty basic info I guess: I am studying for my masters degree in urban planning, I love to travel, nature sports, and learning new things. I speak both English and French. For the rest we should have a chat ! Also I am very new to couchsurfing, having created my account a few years ago but never using it to travel. For this trip in Portugal I really want to try the experience !

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people while travelling, experience and learn new things. Especially when travelling alone.
