About Me

So, what can I say about me?

Well, I'm a tiny girl that wants to be the greatest musician! My big passion is music (all kinds but jazz is my true passion), but I also like to draw, read, travel, photography, walk, cook vegan dishes...

I believe I'm a kind and respectful person. Also, I'm open-minded, friendly, independent, a little shy at the beginning (but I love meeting new people and chat about a lot of different topics). I like sharing adventures and cultural stories with other people as well.

I have been traveling a s much as I can and, after living some years in Scotland and Germany, I finally decided to come back to Portugal and settle in Porto, the best city in the world (at least for me, eheh).

I'm @the.tiny.musician on Instagram and, yes... I think that's all I have to write about me for now. ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met CS some years ago, when I was living with a flatmate during my high school years. I came home and he introduced me to Raquel: a Brazilian woman that was doing Couchsurfing.

"Couch-what?" - I asked, kinda confused.
"Couchsurfing! I explain you after, I'm kinda drunk now: we were drinking some wine at dinner, eheh".

Since that day, I decided I wanted to be part of this community and I have been meeting great people during the past years because of CS. It made me realize there is still nice people in this crazy world and that traveling is one of the best things to enjoy during life.
