About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Practice sports, enjoy an active life, raise my children, grow orgânica,

ABOUT ME

I'm an active person, quite positive
I value those that are really my friends

PHILOSOPHY

As the music from "Jorge Palma": "reduz as necessidades, se queres passar bem"... The translation to english would be: "Live with the minimum belongings if you want to live well"!

Recently, we have been noticing that a lot of young couch surfers live for traveling without realizing the environmental cost of its way of living... And we live in an island, in the middle of the Atlantic. So, there is no other way of coming than by plane, so we are living this dilemma of whether to keep hosting and facilitating this philosophy.
