About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Tasting as much food as possible, drinking as much wine as possible, educating my kids and trying to see the world one country at a time...

ABOUT ME

Developing, learning, exploring, helping, loving, trying, having fun...

PHILOSOPHY

Some of my motos are "Treat others the way you like to be treated", "Carpe Diem", "I'll slepp when I'm dead" or "Never say never"...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Saw an article in a newspaper and decided to become a member.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have couchsurfed in Brazil: nice girls in Natal and Fortaleza, cute couple in Joao Pessoa and an interesting guy in Manaus. I also couchsurfed once in Brussels at a portuguese guy's place, very nice too, and in Berlin...
I've had at my place a guy from Slovakia, a canadian guy, one from Switzerland and a german guy. I also had 4 german girls and 5 girls from Serbia and they were all nice people.

Interests

I love to travel and experience other cultures, trying different kinds of food, making friends, taking it easy on my soffa, trekking, relaxing at the beach, playing with my kids... I'm crazy about cultural events of all kinds, go out dancing all night, spend time with my family, eat good food, watching movies and listening to music, reading and do some relaxing activities like tai-chi, swimming or pilates. I'm very fond of animals in general and dogs in particular.

Music, Movies, and Books

Easy! All kinds of music except country, heavy metal and gothic; any movies except horror; any books except thrillers. One of my favorite bands: Goldfrapp; one of my favorite movies "The crow"; one of my favorite books "The perfume".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taking the Open Water diving course in Brasil and climbing a vulcano in Guatemala.

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyone has something to learn and to teach. I'm open for experiencies and getting to know people from different cultures.
