About Me

ABOUT ME

Just moved to the Algarve and enjoy meeting new people with good vibes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Have tried airbnb and liked it (before it became what it is now... :-), but this one I have never tried, would love to try it out and see if I can make new friends in new places.

I was hosted once via this platform and I believe in giving more than taking in life so I am open to receiving guests. Meeting new people and sharing life experiences is definitely a plus!

To be honest, there is also a financial aspect to this as these are hard times for everyone so using couchsurfing when travelling sounds like a great idea. In any case, every time I have stayed abroad via airbnb I have made new friends that I still keep in (relative) touch with and remember fondly.

I am happy to host people that otherwise would not be able to travel due to accommodation costs.

Interests

I'm into designer furniture, have an online retail website and an online marketing consulting company. Been living in Vietnam for the past 10 years and now in Portugal love it!
