CURRENT MISSION

getting to know as many places as possible!

ABOUT ME

We are a portuguese-german couple that took a break from everyday life and traveled through South America for some months!
We started couchsurfing while we were there and had some great experiences! :)
We like to travel, listen to stories, get to know other cultures and most of all being challenged about our perception of the world!

PHILOSOPHY

"Sou feliz só por preguiça. A infelicidade dá uma trabalheira pior que doença." Mia Couto

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Until now we have only surfed couches and traveled/met with CSs, but we cannot wait to return to our hometowns and create as many good experiences to other people, as other couch surfers have given us!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

we are still new at CS, but we had great experiences so far! For us there is no better way of getting to know a place, its culture and people, than visiting it with locals!
