Hi everyone! I’m Ana and I’m currently Hitchhiking from Portugal to Australia.
I love traveling with little money (volunteering, hitchhiking, camping, etc), cause it shows me how kind people are, and it challenges me in many different ways.
I have a lot of passions, including sports (my main sport now is calisthenics, but I also love climbing, volley, athletics, etc), learning about sustainability, neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and others.

I love volunteering in eco-communities and I do my best to live as sustainability as possible. I’ve also been Vegan for 7 years and counting🌱

I love meeting new people and experiencing different cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing cause I want to connect with other travelers. I want to hear about your stories, your passions, and just spend some nice time with you☺️

Also, now that I am doing this trip with little money, I really need places to stay ahaha
