About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find myself. After that I would like to feed the world...

ABOUT ME

...
I like to leave space for imagination. Ultimate believer. Use light sarcasm as a survival tool. Always in a good mood, laughter is a daily practice. Extremely positive to the point of annoyance. Hate conflict, solution finder. Cooperation is my moto.

My daughter is my travelling companion, she's currently 6 years old, 2005 is her birth year.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is not measured by how many breaths we take, but by how many moments that take our breath away.
There are two great moments in a person's life: the day we are born and the day we discover why...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I welcome foreigners travelling or living in Porto, show them the city and discuss Portuguese habits and culture.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not through this website yet, but I've been around some couches. The interaction with people makes a trip much more interesting... The most stories that could be told would be with a couch in Morocco, with a Berber family.

Interests

Music, travelling, exploring new things, either places or historical facts or people or cultures or anything... Love simple curiosities that make it all exquisite. I like to read. Like to center myself and meditate. Like to discuss religions and human nature. Am into New Age thinking and the conscious shift.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing people going about their life after a bomb blast as if nothing had happened...

Teach, Learn, Share

One thing I learnt is that the boundaries of right and wrong, good and bad, are tied closely together to location and time (era). You change location and all changes.
