About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To discover, explore, inspire and be inspired!

ABOUT ME

I am a happy, easygoing person, love to travel and meet new people, learn about new cultures and try different things.
I am someone who is in love with life!

PHILOSOPHY

"I have become my own version of an optimist. If I can't make it through one door, I'll go through another door - or I'll make a door."
Rabindranath Tagore

"No caráter, na conduta, no estilo, em todas as coisas, a simplicidade é a suprema virtude." - Henry W. Longfellow

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here ultimately looking to build memorable experiences with like-minded people, and hopefully to spread some love and light along my way.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I'm very eclectic but with a strong preference for blues and rock & roll. I've recently started listening to a lot of electro-swing and I love it. A few favourite bands are: The Beatles, Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye, The Cat Empire, Parov stellar, The XX, Nina simone, B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Tom Waits, Alabama 3, George Clinton, Bob Marley, The Rolling stones...

Movies - Been quite into watching foreign movies lately. Life Is Beautiful, Le Petit Nicola, I'm a Cyborg But That's OK, Even the Rain, The Motorcycle Diaries, The Fall, to name a few. All so very beautiful.

Books - I always have a book on me. A few that I really like are One Hundred Years of solitude, On The Road, Thus spoke Zarathustra, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, The Little Prince, Catch-22...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering with Crisis UK and cooking for homeless people on Christmas Eve and Christmas day felt really special. I went there thinking I had so much to give to them but felt like I was the lucky one who left having gained so, so very much. It has changed me completely ever since.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let's do it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Lots of stories, hopefully a few beers, a huge smile and my DIY cooking skills :). I can show you how to make your own homemade granola, mustard, catchup, ice cream..
should be fun! :)
