About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Ah, nao ser eu toda a gente e toda a parte."

ABOUT ME

It's difficult to talk objectively about myself so I'll write what my parents and friends usually tell me.

I'm a confused girl: my room is confused, my notes are confused and of course my mind is a little confused!

My friends told me that I'm a "potato" because I make damages every time I move and I've my head in the clouds.

I'm very sociable, I love talking a lot and meeting new people!

PHILOSOPHY

When I was a child during a trip with my father he told me: there are two different kinds of people that travel: tourists and travellers.
Tourist plans any seconds of his travel: he knows what he will do before he leaves, what he will visit, where he will eat and so on. He won't change plans if someone will invite him to eat with, he won't follow the music that he'll hear on the street and he won't go to see what it is. If he will have a problem on his way, he won't face it relaxed.
On the contrary the traveller is someone who knows how to adapt, how to really LIVE the journey. He knows how to take every opportunity to know places, new people and their culture. If something unplanned happens, he won't panic, he won't get angry, but he will enjoy the unexpected things.

So I try to be a good traveler :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friends have a lot of couchsurfing experiences so they tell me a lot about that.
This summer I met two Polish girls that were hosted at my friend's home. When I met them and I thought that was incredible to host and to be hosted by someone.

Interests

First of all I love travelling so I can give up everything but escape from my everyday life! It makes me feel so full of life!!!

I love watching movies (I usually do "movie-night" with my sister and our friend :D ).

I read a lot and I love "getting inside the book" and living like one of the characters.

Sometimes when I'm feeling down I love painting (although I'm not very good but the thoughts fly away!) or cooking some cakes ("you mix your problems and cook them"!!!).

I also love music (although I don't remember the names of the songs ever!).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ones of the most amazing thing that I've ever seen are elephants. I saw them during my trip to India. They are one of my favourite animals so when I realized that they were there -so closed to me- I felt excited and right then a quote from a movie that I love occurred to my mind: " It was happiness. It was the moment. Right then.".
