CURRENT MISSION

rooting myself back home

ABOUT ME

I am a community person because I have been raised up in a big family. I really enjoy being around people and doing things together. I think life is more beautiful when you can share things :)
I am cheerful, I like to joke around, smile and laugh. I am also very active, although I like to take life easy and some friends say I am calm and slow.

PHILOSOPHY

Lo que viene conviene.
Serendipity? What comes is suitable? take life as it comes? the best is what you have (terrible translations...)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Until June 2011 I lived in a beautiful house in the Netherlands where we had a lot of nice Couch Surfers.
Then I lived in Rio Grande do Sul with no fix address because I was researching in different municipalities. Now I have come back home to root my self back home and build alternatives to this whole collective madness called crisis!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS changes totally every trip...I have surfed in Portugal, Spain, Brasil and the Netherlands.
I have hosted a lot when I lived in the Netherlands, since we were 7 at the house and most of us where at CS!;)

Interests

The sea and all around it!! sailing, (wind)surfing, swimming, diving...
School Food Revolution and everything around social change.
Yoga to calm down my mind and neck in order to live more through my heart (sounds cheesy but it's true!)
Dancing, cycling and all kind of free air activities and nature (I really don't like to stay in a closed room).
