About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Follow your dreams, create the reality you want for you.

ABOUT ME

Well, I am a normally a friendly person...I like deep conversations and random too, after all life is to enjoy.
Travelling...I like to know new people around travelling or hang out with the locals and feel different life styles. I enjoy the differences between us all or the world would be soooo boring! I also love to be alone, day by day I love it even more.....
Food is an important part of my life too. I like to ear what people eat in their countries and learn about their traditions. I love to cook too, healthy stuff =)
I love the nature and I try to take care of it. Just live and let live the others beings.

PHILOSOPHY

Live happy, follow your dreams. I like the quote "live the world a little better than you found it" ..... The world is not ours

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I discovered couchsurfing when I started travelling and I understood how fun and helpful it is to be received in owr first days in a new country or city. So I started to do the same in my house, where ever I am! My house is oppened to you!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had most good experiences in coushsurfing...maybe just one time not so good so...it is a good rate!!!! In fact, I made friends that I keep visiting when I can. When we respect the diferences and the space of other person, it works better =)

Interests

Normally I like to go out, I don t like staying at home too much.
My main interest is earth and bamboo architecture/construction or eco bio architecture, whatever you call it. In this last years I have been learning new traditional techniques and I worked in some communities. I want to keep traveling and learning about the traditional ways of construction in each place, incorporate their knowledge in the modern world.
Besides that, I am interested in creating awareness in my self, and others if they want this seed.... I like to learn about and alternatives styles of life, whatever they are. Just finding my own...

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a Portuguese girl, I can share my culture and cook some Portuguese food with a little twist ahahha . And in case you like healthy food (vegan, macrobiotic...) I am a food freak too, we can make strange stuff!
I am happy to share my experiences in my trips around, nature and constructions.....I always like to see old buildings and churches. Architecture is one of my interests as I wrote before =)
There are so many thing to share, it depends on which information is the other person ready to receive!
