I'm Carolina and I'm a ground handling assistant trying to find myself in this world's different places while searching for an occupation in the creative field so I can make a living. And keep travelling, of course.

I am a simple girl, always trying to be a tolerant and open minded person, and live by the good vibes. I love the simple things in life, I'm curious about what surrounds me, attracted to weird and quirky stuff, and with a quirky sense of humour as well. Though I'm openly an introvert, I assure you I'm willing to make the best out of this experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always thought, since the first time I heard about Couchsurfing, this was an amazing concept. How great it is to visit a city and have the privilege to stay in a local's house and get to know him/her and their habits ? It's all about kindness, goodwill and also curiosity in sharing, learning and growing from each other's knowing. It's not social networks that connects people; real meetings and mutual experiences do.

I like to have my space and some peace at the end of the day, that's why I'm not looking for "crowded couches".

Interests

• TRAVELING AND GETTING TO KNOW OTHER CULTURES

(the better way to shut me up whn I was a kid was to give me a piece of paper and a pencil or some watercolors. Nowadays I have a degree in Visual Arts, but when I was a kid I always wanted to be a vet. Obsessed with pretty bottles and cans and packages with pretty designs)

Music, Movies, and Books

Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, The Libertines, Babyshambles, Jack White, The Clash, Beastie Boys, Morphine, Praxis, System of a Down, Tom Waits, The Beatles, Cibo Matto, Caravan Palace, and so many others. Jazz, Blues and some Electronic are also a preference. Special tendency to some weird stuff.

Love musical movies like The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Grease, West Side Story, Hairspray, All That Jazz, etc.

Love TV shows too. And Breaking Bad is the king of them all.

Jekyll and Hyde, The Perfume, The Dharma Bums, Lolita, Calvin & Hobbes, Adrian Mole, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory... Harry Potter has a special place in my heart.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am still waiting for something of the "amazing" magnitude to happen.

Teach, Learn, Share

At this moment, I can't really think of anything I could teach; I don't think I have the knowledge to teach whatever it is to anyone, besides the language. And some random useless abilities ahah. Ok... and perhaps some artistically related skills.
On the other hand, I'm open to learn anything; as a foodie, I have a special interest in gastronomy and typical dishes. And desserts. Cheese. Chocolate. Beer.

We must share everything that makes our cultures different :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

PORTUGUESE FOOD, what else could it be ? :D
But seriously, besides that, the good energies, the stories, the History, our portuguese pop/rock music... while you're here, we can share with you our beautiful house and garden, show you the town and its picturesque spots, some of the beaches along the coast, whatever's in our reach to make you feel at home.
