About Me

I'm portuguese but I have lived already in various places around Europe.
In 2015 I went back to University of fine arts to study drawing and painting, and that's what I have been doing ever since. Currently i am learning the most I can in this field, as it is my way of connectiong with the world and developing as an individual.
I'm interested in advising and motivating people who wish to work in artistic fields.
At the moment I am studying in Tallinn, until January 2020. I hope to meet nice people over here and especially getting to understand the Estonian culture and philosophy of life.
I absolutely love my country but I always feel the need of travelling and discovering new things and make new friends from various places. And I'm in love with the baltic countries :)

Here's my instagram, in case you're curious about what I do:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am in couchsurfing since more than 10 years. I have made wonderful friends and beautiful journeys. Couchsurfing allowed me to connect with the places and the people, and has made life much more joyful. It has been a pleasure so far.

Interests

Getting to know people and their stories, sharing a good wine, talking about culture, to make things, to create things, to organize things, to dance, to sing, improvise, to explore.
Recently I joined a folk female choir and then music started to take and important role in life as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

Invisible Cities - Italo Calvino
Music -I'm a music geek - It's hard to say then, as there is so many wonderful music . I love making playlists for all kinds of occasions. I like world music, bossanova, folk music, indie music (although I do'nt really like to categorize these things)
