Mexican nationality

I'm a 21-year-old Mexican. Beyond Abroad have been incredibly attentive from the start, making the process easy. Lisbon has left me speechless with its beauty and positive vibes. It offers a lot of activities: trying local food, exploring museums, taking the tram to strolling through its streets, or simply walking around. I'm fascinated by this experience, and I'm here to help in any way possible.
