I'm a 24 year old student/worker, from the glorious city of Porto, Portugal, and a devoted FC Porto fan.
Currently I live in Japan with my husband Hendrixx(mild artistic liberty taken here -it is spelled Hendrick- but he was named after Jimmy Hendrix), and I am the assistant Guest Services (front desk) manager in an hotel. I also attend college, and I am working on my degree (albeit slowly) in Asian Affairs (a suffocating blend of history, economics, philosophy, theology and asian languages). Pretty interesting. I have lived in Japan for 5 years (except for the 6 months I lived in Washington D.c.) and I adore living here.
My husband and I love to travel around the world, and some of our most recent trips were to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Shanghai, Beijing, Taiwan, Sydney, Auckland, among other places.
