I'm a listener and an optimist. Peacefully shy.

New things, old things, nature things, simple things. I'm easily amazed by them.

I don't quite know what I'm searching for, but I'll make sure that the journey is thrilling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At first I was a host, but those days are now gone (moved out of the house I was in).
I wonder when the surfing days will come.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm glad to say that I've done things that would fascinate my younger self, and that my older self enjoys remembering -- while thinking about the next step to take. :)

4 gazelles 40 humans, both species running and jumping from side to side in a vast area. The gazelles' owner wanted to donate them to a zoo, so we spent an entire day trying to catch them. Sure was interesting.

I've done an internship in one of the best aquariums in the world. Oceanário de Lisboa. Handled penguins, otters and a sea turtle in the meanwhile.
Worked in wildlife rehabilitation centers with other lovely animals.

I'm a very peaceful entity but I somehow decided to leave my comfort zone and participate in a kickboxing tournament - and I guess I won.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd like to share something that my hosts enjoy.

Do you like food? I like giving food.
Do you like to chat? Let's exchange words.
Do you like to receive postcards? I like to send them.

And I will definitely help and host them, if they come to Portugal.
