CURRENT MISSION

I am now in Villard de Lans (45min of Grenoble) in the French Alps after some adventures in Brazil and Europe, and a winter season in Val Thorens. I spend most of my free time in the mountains so if you are an outdoor person you have knocked at the good door, it will be a pleasure for me to show you around :) And I also know some nice and chilly places to eat/have a drink in town

Hosting : I have a couch in my spacious flat in Villard de Lans so shouldn't be a problem to host you if my flatmate is ok with that. And if you want to grab a beer of go explore the mountains i am always down for that :D And don't hesitate to contact me for last minute requests, I am quite reactive!

ABOUT ME

I love adventure ! This is why I live for ! I always want to explore and discover new countries, new regions and having crazy experiences there. I have quite some travelling experience as well as Brazil was the 6th country I have lived in. I am very sporty as well I practise a lot of running/trail and cycling mostly. But I like to try a lot of other sports. And skiing in winter of course :D
Otherwise I love hearing about travelling stories meeting people with a different way of life and learn about it. I'm open minded and really easy going too.
Beside that i am also part of the organization of an eco friendly music festival in the forest (Feuyas tival) a project in which i have been involved for the past 4 editions.
Also, if you come, cooking and sharing dinner will be part of your experience as i looove cooking 😋
And always to go out for partys too! :)
Eu falo portugues tambem!

PHILOSOPHY

“Tourists don’t know where they’ve been, travelers don’t know where they’re going.”
"The world is a book and those who don't travel only read one page"
"Buy experiences, not things"
"The mental leads, the body follows"
"If you think that adventure is dangerous, try the routine, she is fatal"
"On a toujours le choix de prendre la route la moins empruntée, le sport cela reste ce qu'on en fait"
"L'homme croit que le bonheur est au sommet de la montagne, mais il est dans l'art de la gravir"
Travelling with an easy going way, meet random people and share good moments with them. Just go into the unknown and see what happen :) I like take up new crazy challenges

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to choose I think there are quite a few!
- The first one when I was in Quebec (in Canada) I did winter camping and sleep outside with temperatures below -35° !
- The second are my bike trips every summer : I did with friends 1250km in 11 days with our luggages, travelling through France from the East to the West, 1035km to Amsterdam, 1300km to south of France, 900km from Oslo to Copehague, 1000km from Austria to Czech Republic and the last was the biggest one: 1800km in a month from Slovakia to Napoli in Italy . So you get it I am a huge fan of bike trips!
- Also had the chance to surf with dolphins while I was in NZ, it was like in a dream!
- Spent one winter season in the highest ski resort in Europe (Val Thorens) skiing (almost) every day!
- Did a part of the camino de compostella from Porto to Santiago by foot.
And many more aventure stories if you want to know more :)
