I consider myself a communicative person with a good sense of humor, but I can be a little shy sometimes.
I find it very interesting to meet new people and listen to their stories. I'm always available for a good conversation about life, philosophy or science. I love when people teach me new things.
I enjoy calm and relaxed places, I'm not a party girl. I love nature and going to the mountains. I used to mountaineer but have stopped a few years ago. I’m trying to change that.
I am currently trying to bring meditation and mindfulness into my life and travel as much as possible.
I share my home with a dog that I rescued from the street. He is very calm and friendly and will receive any guest with a wagging tail.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is a very good way to meet people from around the world and to know the local cultures from inside.

I do prefer to meet and host people that see couchsurfing not as "free accommodation" but as a different experience and as a way to discover the world from a local's point of view.

I don't accept friend requests from people that I don't know, so if you want to make contact with me the best way is to send me a message and if you want to be my guest is to send me a hosting request. I'll be more willing to accept your request if I can tell by your message that you read my profile, including the information about my home.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy different styles of music, including classical, jazz, some folk, indie, rock. I love to watch a movie and read a good book, particularly those that make me question my beliefs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a 8 day hiking in the Himalayas carrying a big backpack. It was a lesson of self-knowledge and a test to my limits.
Did the Portuguese Camino to Santiago de Compostela.
Rescued a dog.

Teach, Learn, Share

As host I can share some insights about Portuguese culture and maybe some company to downtown and beach area.
