CURRENT MISSION

sharing discovery for pleasure and growth

ABOUT ME

poliedric great traveller loves people and sharing and knowing and meeting different cultures.
loves cooking and art in any form. I can't host in this period as I am often away for work, or pleasure, or my PhD in Lisbon.
I am a single mother of Francesco, 21yo, who lives partly wth me and partly away for University (Computer Science) and he is also a musician, producer, composer.

PHILOSOPHY

we are here to do something, and use the talents we were given for the good of humanity and the earth. we must find out what and do it at our best, loving and helping each other and the universe in the meanwhile.
"if you act stupid (or anything else) don't complain when they tell you do."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think I have been couchsurfing all my life hosting people at my home and visiting friends, I think that the best way to visit a country is to see it from within and to share the life of the people., and for teh same reason I offer to host to let people travel and help have a best experience of the place they visit, like no tour guide could ever do.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After almost 2 years, after my great experience in Hawaii in 2010 I had so many guests and visited or participated in events with some exceptional CS in 2011 I am so excited and every time I travel I look if there are some CS around able to host me! Unfortunately my couch is broken right now (and I must say, my schedule so busy and my energy so low I had no time to see how to fix it...) but I hope to have it available soon!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed all the way up and saw the dawn from mount kilimanjaro.
I went 49m down diving in the Red Sea.
I touched on three continents on one day.
I touched on 4 US states (;-)) and went rafting the Colorado river (and in Ardeche, and some other places).
I did 12 exams + final thesis in 13 months (it usually takes 3+ years) with 29/30 marks average.
I did my MA in Anthropology with full marks in time in spite of the equivalent of 1 extra year of credits to cover.
I grew up a wonderful child by myself in spite of negative people taking away energy and other things from me.
I run a wonderful life and share it as much as I can with people I love and are with good heart!

Teach, Learn, Share

My job (business consultant, personal and professional trainer and coach) involves continuous learning and sharing, that's why I love it. I can do individual/group sessions of 1-3 hours to anybody to help understand their direction in life/business (for themselves, their family, their company).
On the side, I teach english (but I can also teach some Spanish/Italian/French) to kids or convers ein these languages, I organise parties, and events for people to meet and enrich themselves (from short holidays or days out to 1-3hours walk/hike/praying the rosary - or other consciousness/prayer/meditation ways - in the meantime), I do voluntary work anytime I can.
