I am a very open person and I like meeting new people and learning about their lives. I’ve traveled a lot and lived in the US, Paris, Amsterdam and now Lisbon. Cultures and languages fascinate me, as well as seeing how people choose to live and think.

Music, Movies, and Books

What I Can Share with Hosts

A comfy couch in a private space, a shower, a kitchen. Please note, for all guests I agree initially to host for one night, then I will decide about hosting a second night if you need. Limit is always two nights. Please when you come, always be prepared have alternative plans if I decide that one night is all I can offer you.
