CURRENT MISSION

Explore, Discover & Help Make Earth a Better Place

Born and raised in Lisbon, I already lived in Paris and Ubud, Bali.

This heart of mine was made to travel the world.
I want to travel for travels sake and find contentment in never having a concrete destination; enjoying the adventure, the foreign cities, unknown foods and infinite possibilities for what they are..Enjoying the "now". Time becomes transparent, i'll move with the wind not a map; seeking nothing other than knowledge, friendship, experience, opportunities and a great "perhaps" .
I love laughter, people, the present moment, being spontaneous and trying new things.
I love good food, good music and good movies (all kinds), dancing, the sun, fresh air and nature, and I promised myself never to be an adult.
I love to love! I prefer fireplaces instead of parties and big hugs instead of handshakes. I try to eat organic as much as I can.
I believe that the universe will teach me the right things at the right time, and that the right pathes with the right people will cross.
I'm still learning, so I love to listen and forming my own opinions.
I'm looking forward to meet you!

PHILOSOPHY

Do never bend to other people's expectations! Follow your intuition and your reason, and listen to your body! Life is short, but beautiful, so make the best out of it!

Be critical.

If you see somebody without a smile, give him yours!
Every soul is beautiful, and everyone deserves love and respect.

Everyone can make a change, so feel responsable, stand up for your believes! Life is what you make it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I get in touch with people, who travel around the world, to know their stories, to share my stories. I am happy to get know new people in Lisbon, where I am living currently. From time to time I can host somebody, when the second room in my flat is available.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few months ago I decided that I wanted to do some volunteering in Bali, Indonesia. Originally I came there to be a teacher, but honestly... I was a student and that wonderful kids teached me so much more about life! No matter what your disabillity is, use it as a tool and not as something that is standing in your way!
I experienced so many beautiful moments, met wonderful people, collected one of a kind experiences, which changed me in such a positive way.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Portuguese, vegan recipes, yoga also some Art History for those who are interested...
I am always interested in learning new languages and practicing the ones I already know, as well as learning about new cultures and cooking new dishes...

What I Can Share with Hosts

A couch or a bed of course, but much more eventually, like tips about where to go, what to see, what to do, and hopefully we can become friends
