About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living life with purpose and enjoy every second of it

ABOUT ME

I'm a travel junkie!! I specialy enjoy traveling on my own and meet the locals to have a more authentic experience of the destination.
I've had so far a lot of different experiences that helped me to grow and to become who I am today. Meeting new people has helped to step out of my comfort zone and embrace new challenges. I'm so thirsty to get to know the world!
I'm smiling, cheerful, kind, open-minded to new experiences and a dreamer, who loves to lay down watching the stars in the nature and dreaming again and again..
And what else would I say about me.. maybe an inspiring and warm-hearted pal who wants to sail on adventures and contribute positively to the others.

A storyteller, that's me.

PHILOSOPHY

I share some ideas: take action, live with purpose, be grateful.
To be positive is the key for a fulfilling life. I believe in kindness and love above all the things.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe we can learn more from the experiences we had the chance to have in our life and from the people we met who inspire us to grow towards our potential.
I admire who doesn't follow the crowd, a person who is capable of doing something different without being afraid of other's judgement.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My portuguese culture (I know how to cook a really nice bacalhau!), my interesting travel experiences and some lessons I learned along the way...! Also I love discussing development, politics, if you’re keen.
