About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Starting a new chapter, now in Zurich!!

ABOUT ME

Love sharing a laugh, meeting new people and going out. I was born in Paraguay, my father side of the family are from Brazil and lived most of my life in Spain... since I was a child I loved having family all over so I can travel to visit them!
I took some time off (18 months!) to devote it to travel and explore the world. 33 countries, +170 cities, amazing people and endless stories!

PHILOSOPHY

If you smile everyone will smile you back! The more people you know the wider your vision of things will become.
Practice common sense and try to make life simple and enjoy it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I attend CS meetings when possible, have hosted few people in Madrid, shown the city and shared adventures, drinks and thoughts.
It's crazy how you can become so close with some people you have just met and you might find again in the other side of the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted some in Madrid and met some others on CS meetings in each city I went, also events like walking tours, language exchange..
I've hosted and been hosted also few times and really enjoyed a lot the experience, counting my hosts and guests as friends.

Interests

I like cooking and good wines, embracing new cultures, meet people with different backgrounds and ideas and share good moments. Cold beer fits in here too and almost any type of food.
I like riding motorbikes and bicycles, hiking, snorkelling and starting on freediving, mastering campfires and barbeques.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am open, ready to do anything and interested in everything! I can try and share all what I did so far, and give an educated guess most of the time.
Ready and willing to learn whatever gets around me.
