Overview
About Me
DEAR PEOPLE, PLEASE CHECK MY CALENDAR BEFORE REQUESTING TO STAY! Thank you 🙏
I am 52 and I am the mother of 3 boys: 2 young men and a teenager.
I am very independent, curious, very optimistic (sometimes too much), fun and easy going, sometimes a little bossy.
I am absolutely organized and tidy.
I live and work in Lisbon in cultural production and love what I do
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It's all about sharing and broaden one's world!
I've heard about CS and decided to try, so far I had just enriching experiences.
I love to travel but accommodation is pretty expensive so I thought that money could be used to do interesting stuff instead. Another thing about couchsurfing is the possibility to be with locals and learn about the real life of each place. I also love to meet new people of all ages.

Music, Movies, and Books
So many: I love all kinds of music provided it is good. From early music to independent.
As to movies, I love romance and drama.
One of my favourite books was Gabriel Garcia Marques' "Cem anos de solidão" and "Os Maias" by protuguese 19th century writer Eça de Queiroz
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
From one day to the other decided to leave everything behind and went to Brussels to work as an aupair at the age of 19. A very hard experience, a lesson for a life time, never learned so much.
Teach, Learn, Share
As much as possible
