Overview
About Me
🌜 currently in Netherlands 🌜
✨ My dream is to get to know the world, see how the cultures really are, know the real people, the politics, the art of each country, palpable or not. I love volunteering, whether with people or animals. I'm a huge fan of nature and I strongly believe in the energy provided by all human beings, animals and elements on earth (of course I have crystals, yes). I believe that we all can live in peace and harmony if we get along and have an open mind that embraces all customs and religions instead of oppressing them. I do yoga and I love to meditate every week, for me it’s always yo:ga o’ clock. I have 9 tattoos and I hope to do more more and more asap, I love tattoos and the fact that we can be a living art gallery. I interrupted my studies to work and travel for a year (which is what I'm doing right now). I've been a vegetarian for almost 5 years so I can cook delicious vegetarian dishes, as well as inform you about the reasons that led me to be a vegetarian (there were many).I also love doing art, pottery or painting, i love all of the types of art 🌞✨

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It's a huge opportunity to meet people from anywhere, it's not just sleeping for free, they're unique life experiences, amazing people and friendships that we can create. We have the opportunity to get to know a lot about the city and the country through local residents and that’s so cool. Life is a miracle and we have to be grateful everyday for being alive, so... in my opinion, getting to know new places, new people and new cultures is an incredible opportunity to get to know the world better and fall in love with being alive. 🌈

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was born and that was a beautiful miracle of nature~~
What I Can Share with Hosts
I live in Portugal, more precisely in the suburbs of Lisbon, so you would be 20 minutes by train or boat from there. I can show you amazing places in the suburbs of Lisbon, where I live, such as in the capital! There are beaches, viewpoints, monuments and other amazing views and nice places to visit here, Portugal is definitely a beautiful country that I am very proud of. Also, I have my couch available or, if you prefer, the floor in my room (with lots of blankets). I am a vegetarian and I can cook to you the food I make for myself, or if you prefer to eat what my family eats (the traditional meat and fish), it's up to you. I promise you'll have a great experience, see beautiful places and be well received :)))))
