About Me

We are a couple from Brazil that enjoy traveling and meeting new people. We consider one of the greatest richness of life getting to know new cultures and ways of life. Life is too short to stay in one place, so we try our best to go around a lot and have as many new experiences as possible. We collect friends from all around the world from our previous travels, and hope to make even more through lending our spare bedroom/bathroom.

You can see some of our adventures and daily lives in our instagram https://www.instagram.com/oh_c4rol

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We like to travel and meet interesting people. Because we only have 1 month vacation a year to travel, hosting in the other 11 months and getting to know someone from afar will feel a bit like traveling itself. Besides that, we have been so blessed and since we believe in giving back we would like to help people to accomplish their dreams of traveling.

Unfortunately, we do not host people with no references.
