CURRENT MISSION

Make more and more friends during our 2nd time in Europe! We'll love to travel around and know non-touristic places, go out and get some fun! Good talks are expected! Good times to remember for life as well!

ABOUT ME

We’re a couple who enjoys life as the most precious gift. We’ve been living together for a couple of years and we love travel, meet knew people and get experienced in other cultures. Open-minded and easy-going, there’s no bad time to share a beer and get some talk. Wine, of course, is welcome too! :p

We are ready to improve our lives with more and more friends. We believe richness is experience of life, is share moments, is to move and reach out places far away this planet (why not other planets? LOL).

What more? With no modesty, we have good taste in music! In fact, music is our drug! We love go to festivals like Lollapalooza (3 times), Rock in Rio, etc. We love post-punk rock, 80’s, 90’s and new rock.

We love the night. We love hang out together and go to pubs and bars, meet friends and appreciate artesanal beers or a bottle of wine. See bands on stage, dance and have fun!

We are here, just come and join us!

Ops, almost forgetting: we have a cat, Amélie!

Gilbert ::
About me, so… I’m a guy that loves feel alive and, mainly, loves to know people. I believe what really matters in life is good mood, good friends and good experiences... that's priceless.

I do a lot of things at the same time. I have my small business in Brazil (it's an agency of publicity), but I'm a musician too and have a band (Candyman Club - 80’s & 90’s post-punk versions!). So I'm used to play in concerts sometimes, create songs... btw, I'm traveling to discover new bands! After that, I like to study languages, drink wine (and whyskey - not together, of course, haha), have a good talk and have fun.

I can say that I'm really calm, open-minded, easy-to-deal... what more... Ah, you say when you meet me. :)

Mariana ::
I’m a girl that loves to share moments with friends and family! I love music, as well, dancing, traveling and share experiences. I love cats! I have two: Mima (who lives with my parents) and Amélie. I’m easy-going and worry about the others. I love the humanity and I dream about a better world with no hunger and poverty.

I love reading, make embroidery and cooking. By the way, I have an intention to study “chef de cuisine” soon, even though I can try to prepare something for my friends now.

PHILOSOPHY

We believe that what really matters in life is good mood, good friends and good experiences... that's priceless. More than money or possessions, that's the real richness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now, just surfing but when we return, we'd like to host too!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Gilbert: in 2010 I had some great experiences on CS, as you can see down there. But the most of being hosted was see the city, the places and the culture by the eyes of a local. It's priceless!
