About Me

We are currently travelling until June that's why we can't host anybody, sorry!

Gabriela: I like to travel, meet new people and learn about different cultures.
Benjamin: I like discovering different cultures and people and try to learn from them to live in a more open and conscious way.

PHILOSOPHY

Gabriela & Benjamin: "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever". Gandhi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why CS?
Gabriela & Benjamin: because we think that is the best way to travel and to really know a city, a country or culture. Is also the best way to know local people.
In the same way, we love to host people who are travelling (if we have the opportunity).
For us is all about sharing.
