Hello! I'm Maria João and i'm 20 years old. Currently i'm studying Law (3rd year) in the University of Lisbon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I found out about Couchsurfing trough a friend by telling her i needed to find a place to stay in Germany while I'm there to take a 2 week intensive course in learning german.

At first i didnt believe that she was explaining me the concept the right way, but now i understand it is sort of like volunteering and the hosts have so much to gain with the recurrent touch with new people from all around the world.

Interests

I love reading and listening to music! Apart from that, i love being surrounded by my friends and familiy and just spend time with them!

My favorite band is Warpaint, I loved Interstellar, my favorite book was "The Raizor's Edge" by Somerset Maugham

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I dont think i've done anything huge, but im always ready to help those around me, and i volunteer in a small centre near by my college to be a tutor for small kids.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think i can bring my hosts a little taste of the portuguese culture! I'm very eager to be in touch with new cultures and to make mine travel around the world. I'm very responsable and conscious, and i promise i'll always respect my hosts ways of living and try not be too much of a burden!
