Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love meeting new people, learning and sharing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A lot of informal couch surfing/living in unconventional situations for a while, but only formally started couchsurfing recently.

Interesses

I really like walking, and tend to take pictures of things around me as I go, but also enjoy conversations with folks whose experiences are different from my own. I'm interested in plants, ecology, plant/people interactions (including agriculture, agroforestry and permaculture), languages and immersion in other cultures. I'm pretty happy when I'm on my bicycle.
