Hey guys!

I am a Portuguese girl fond of new cultures, new countries, new people and languages!

I love travelling, art, photography, architecture, cinema, music, books and letters! I love to receive it, but also to write it! In fact, I have penpals since I was 14! I got to know a little bit of every corner of the world through it. And good friends aswell!

I like the Spring, creativity, honesty and portuguese food! Also sweets (all of them! chocolate, gums, bubble gums, lollipops...), X-mas time, the stars and degradé of colours (like in a colourful pencil case).

I am a trainee lawyer and my office have a lot of work, but I try to have a social life apart from there! :P I love my friends and I love to go out with them!

I live in Lisbon (a great sunny and colourful city!) with my boyfriend and my two cats.

I like rock, indie, jazz, blues, folk, trip-hop... Some of my favourite are Cat Power, Arcade Fire, Queens of the Stone Age, Placebo, The Cure, The Doors, Nirvana, The Strokes...

My favourite book is "Le Petit Prince". It's a life reference! However, my favourite writer is José Saramago. I also love Kafka and Paul Auster.

I love cinema, so this is a hard one. My favourite film is "La Vitta è bella". Then, there is also "Requiem for a dream", "2046", "El laberinto de Fauno", "Howl's moving castle", "Where the wild things are", "21 gr", "The Last King of Scotland" and many many others!

My mother tongue is portuguese, but I also speak english, spanish and a little bit of french. I had some classes of Italian and also because it's a latin language, I can understand it, but I can't have a fluent conversation.

I studied mandarin for 6 months too.

And I just started my german classes last week! I'm loving it!

I like swapping Fb's, postcards and stationary (not too girly or too cute!).

I also like swaps related to my interests: music, cinema, art, different countries... But I like many random swaps, since they are creative, funny or interesting...

Concerning candy swaps - I like almost everything. I just don't like raisins and other dried fruits.
