ABOUT ME

We're actually living in Switzerland, in the "Canton the Vaud", in a small village close to Yverdon les Bains. This is close to Geneva (+/- 45 min.), Lausanne (+/- 30 min.), Neuchâtel (+/- 30 min.), Bern (+/- 40 min.) and 2h from Zurich.

We have a little daughter since April 2015, so it's why we're not accepting surfers in this moment (it's more confortable for her and for surfers too).

When she'll be a little bigger, we surely accept again guests. However, if you want someone to take a drink or to show you Switzerland, you can contact us and it'll be a pleasure for us to help you (depending of our schedule...)

Be free to ask us, we'll try to answer to you fastest as we can.

We are open mind and respectful people; we'll do the best for our surfers during their stay and give what we can. In the other way, the minimum we want from you is you respect us and our house.

Last thing: we're not great with english, so sorry if something is not totally clear.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When we discover the concept in the internet (and this was in 2010), we love the idea. So we decide to try once and we really loved it!!! In all our experiences, we meet great persons and make great connections. We meet single people, couples, families... All great! Ou way to thanks them was cooking for them, normaly portuguese cook. They seems to love it and it was lovely for us to see them like that. The connection and the feeling that a friendship could be born with couchsurfing it's surely the best this in this.

Unfortunatly we never receive surfers; maybe because we don't live in a "big swiss city". And now we're not receiving because we need all our time for our little baby. We surely be "open" again quite soon.

Interests

We love travels (well, what a surprise...), music, movies, reading. And now, we love all the baby things, take time to be with our daughter and make some walks with her. We already make some travels with her and we hope she'll love travel with us in the near future.

Plus, we love photography. We already try to have some blogs about this, but with no much success.

Our love for music make us have some instruments, essencialy guitars and a electric piano. So we try to learn it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lots of them.

For the music we love all the rock, since 60' until 90'. About this, we try to go see a live concert by year. Fo exemple, we already see Mark Knopfler 3 times, we see ZZ Top, Eric Clapton, BB King...

About movies, well, we have lot of them. It's hard to choose just one or two.

Teach, Learn, Share

We enjoy to learn about different cultures. We are open mind about different kind of life subject and it's always great to learn about people and their way to live in their country. About this, our best experience was our travel to Sri Lanka. We learn a lot about Boudhism and the lovely people of the island.

In the other side, we can show you a little bit about the portuguese culture, our food and habits. We can teach (a little bit) of guitar playing. We are new in Switzerland (since 2011) but we can show you the little we know about the country.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We'll try to give you the best experience we can. We are not the most "adventure guys" in the world, so we probably didn't give you the most exciting or extreme experience. We didn't practice extreme sport and now, because our baby, we didn't go out a lot by night. But we'll surely make some efforts and try all we can to give you a better stay and a better look about we'll show you during your stay.
So, it's logic that we wait from our guests some respect and some efforts to make the stay the most cool for all of us. And keep it great memories.
