SOBRE NAT: Brasileira, de Sao Paulo, recién casada con el amor de mi vida Guilherme. En este momento realizando nuestro mas grande sueño: viajar el mundo de mochileros.

SOBRE GUI: Brasileiro, de São Paulo, disfrutando de los lindos momentos, encuentros e aprendizajes de la vida al lado da mi linda esposa Nat. Estamos viajando por el mundo vivendo la potencia de esta experiência juntos y conociendo mucha gente linda.

SOBRE NUESTRO VIAJE:
Nuestro viaje empiezó en el Uruguay, cuya canción de su paisano nos ha inspirado para el nombre de nuestro blog (aún en construcción) - PASSEANTES (en portugués con 2 S)...
"Dos paseantes distraídos, han conseguido que él relój de arena le pena pare, que se despedace, y así seguir el rumbo que el viento trace" (Jorge Drexler)

Somos verdaderos, transparentes, y nos encanta conocer a personas, estar rodeada de gente, hacer cosas nuevas. Nos aburre la rutina, ya no vemos sentido en seguir trabajando encerrados en una oficina ahora.

Nat és amante de la gastronomía y durante el viaje por el mundo esta sumergida en aprender lo mejor de cada país, pues quien sabe en el futuro este será su gran misión. Cocinar con alma la cocina de su latinoamerica. A Gui le encanta tocar la guitarra, charlar sobre politica, futbol, la historia del pais, le encanta hacer videos de las personas que han conociendo por el camino.

Amamos demasiado el mar. Cerca de él nos sentimos en paz. Amamos ver el sol poniéndose. Amamos contemplar cosas sencillas y darle cuenta de lo poco que necesitamos para ser felices. Aunque seamos más urbanos, acercarnos de la naturaleza es algo esencial para nuestra vida.
No tenemos miedo a arriesgar, cambiar el rumbo de la vida, salir de nuestra zona de conforto, lo contrário, nos gusta lo nuevo y desconocido y piensamos que es de ahí que uno más aprende.

Creo que cuando se hace las cosas a favor de su esencia personal, la vida y el universo te retribuye tal y cuál. Estás de cierta forma, protegido!

ABOUT NAT: Brazilian, from Sao Paulo, just married with the love of my life Guilherme. At this moment, planning our biggest dream: travelling the world as a backpacker.

ABOUT GUI: Brazilian, from Sao Paulo, enjoying those beautiful moments, meetings and learnings of this life with the company of my special wife. We are travelling around the wolrd living this potential experience together and meeting many nice people.

Our first destiny will be Uruguay, curiously the place of the singer who inspired the name of our blog (passeantes - under construction). "Dos paseantes distraídos, han conseguido que él relój de arena le pena pare, que se despedace, y así seguir el rumbo que el viento trace" (Jorge Drexler)

We are truly and transparent, we love to meet people, to be around people, to do different things. The routine bothers us , for us there is no sense to be inside an office now, with only one month vacation per year. Nat is a cook lover and want to learn about local gastronomy in every country we will be along my trip (she wants to work with cooking , to have her own place, after all). Gui loves to play the guitar, and talk about politics, soccer, the history of the countries that we are visiting and make videos with the people that we have been meeting through our travel.

Also, we are in love with the sea, the ocean brings me peace. And we love the sunset. To contemplate the simple things of life and get to know how little we actually need. Although we are more urban, being close to nature is a must. We have no fear of trying new things, experiencing, getting out of our comfort zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Más que viajar y conocer los lugares, queremos conocer a través de experiencias con los locales. Creemos que es la mejor forma de viver el lugar en todos sus sentidos. El lugar no solo se dá por sus paisajes y historias, pero por su gente.

More than just knowing a place, We want to exchange experiences with locals. We think that is the best time to actually LIVE a place in all those senses. A place it is not only the landscape and history, is its people.
