CURRENT MISSION

"To love is eternal innocence, And the only innocence is not to think" F. Pessoa

ABOUT ME

We are a family of 4, Sofia and Simon are mum and dad, Yara(6) and Maria (under 1), we have a dog (Água) and a cat (Nala).
Sofia have lots of experience couchsurfing as a host and surfer. She always had a great time hosting people or staying in people's houses.
Simon never experienced couchsurfing but he has had similar experiences in his travels.
Yara and Maria just love meeting new people and living new experiences. They never lived in a house or fixed place so they are used to the change and new places.
Sofia can't wait to introduce the couchsurfing experience to the family!

PHILOSOPHY

"...
I believe in the world as in a daisy,
Because I see it. But I don’t think about it,
Because to think is to not understand.
The world wasn’t made for us to think about it
(To think is to have eyes that aren’t well)
But to look at it and to be in agreement.

I have no philosophy, I have senses…
If I speak of Nature it’s not because I know what it is
But because I love it, and for that very reason,
Because those who love never know what they love
Or why they love, or what love is.

To love is eternal innocence,
And the only innocence is not to think…"

Fernando Pessoa, the greatest portuguese poet(in my opinion) can explain it better!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to share ideas, meals, interests and couch!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first couchsurfing experience was in Rotterdam with Mielle as a host. The experience was wonderful! It motivated me to get more involved in the project.

During the years I was studying I had a fix address and I hosted people from all around the world! The experience.. it was amazing! Everyone in their individual way brought a little bit more light to my life! Thank you all for making this project possible!
