About Me

ABOUT ME

a 23 years old girl, from Madeira Island.
I am easy going, love travelling and knowing about other cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”

"I feel that there is nothing more truly artistic than to love people!" Vicent Van Gogh

I am very receptive to all kinds of personality, I respect each other. I like persons with their own personality, I appreciate the uniqueness.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just good experiences until now.

I hosted some persons in Moldova during my voluntary time. And I was hosted by others in Ukraine, Romania and Belgium!

Interests

Reggae, Jazz & Drum and Bass, contemporany art, meet people,...I love to go to music festivals, to do bodyboad and try mainly water sports.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: “La Vita é Bella”, “Forrest Gump”, "Into the wild"

Music: Reggae, Jazz & Drum and Bass; Capleton, Thievery Corporation,...

Series: Baywatch (maybe because it was the only that I could follow and also, because i love everthing relationated to the sea)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the funniest was when I was hook by a fisherman, the fishing line got caught on my windsurfing board and he thought it was a big fish so pulled me to shore.

I did volunteering work (European Voluntary Service) in Moldova and I think that has been one of the greatest adventures I've ever had.
