Olá! My name is Rita.
I'm portuguese and I lived 6 months in SouthAmerica.

So... I love smile, I love people that makes me smile and things that make me smile too. But I also love those who make me cry and feel. I love to feel things. I love to be in peace and harmony with the world and with myself (but I can't, sometimes !)

I also value...

-the ocean and all the portuguese coast and the islands
-the sounds of nature
-nature
-the silence
-to sing in the streets with friends
-the body movements
-the circus (trapeze and aerial silk)
-gymnastics
-street art
-dance
-education, pedagogy and work with kids
-to dive, to jump and swim, the sea, the ocean, the water
-the rocks, climbing, walking, running
-my city, Lisbon
-sudamerica (Vamo arribaaaa, bo!)
-love
-F.R.I.E.N.D.S. ("You wanna hear something weird? -Always."- Phoebe)

“And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” - Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in couchsurfing because I believe that, more than anything else, when we are traveling, what really matters is getting to know the people of the country. Besides, I believe that, sometimes, we can learn more about a country only with people's words and, for me, that's a lot :)
