About Me

Haillo there!
My name is Carla, I'm 33 and from Portugal. I have lived in a few countries already and what I love the most about travelling, is the people I meet along the way and their friendship in my heart..cheesy I know...but that's me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I believe couchsurfers have something special. I love the idea, the concept, the opportunity to meet new people all the time and that just makes us get out of our little box and see the imense diversity of cultures, habits, personalities! How great can that be?

Interests

I'm vegetarian, sportsaholic :), very talkative but also a great listeneer! Love to cook, bake bread (but not cakes...just bread) and all kinds of craftworks (not an expert, but I like everything that involves hands!).

  • pets

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well...I have done a few crazy things like skydiving, but for me amazing things are those little things like...watch the sunrise on a beach (well, it was in Samoa island and that is just amazing per se) and then snorkelling and say good morning to the little fish. I wanna cry when I remember that feeling... :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe I always have more to learn that to teach....but I always love to share some of the things life has taught me...
I have taught English once in the Galapagos Islands and that was a great experience...although I realized how hard it is to teach!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hosts, just because you are a host, you must be great! :)
I will for sure be very happy if you host me and try to help around the place and leave everything tidy and for sure cook a meal (or two.. who knows?! ehhe) to thank you for the hospitality! And if you wanna come along for the tourist moments or just share whats around to see or just teach me something, please do! :)
