About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live in the Moment

ABOUT ME

I'm a dreamer in a dream-like world. I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I think that life is too short to not enjoy every minute and there's nothing I don't want to see or do :-)

PHILOSOPHY

Really live until you die.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I spend a lot of time volunteering as a teacher in developing countries and hosting travelers has always been fulfilling. In the Peace Corps network, I hosted over 45 volunteers in three countries.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first couch-surfed in Uganda and Ethiopia with a friend from Brazil and now I'm hooked. In 2012, I traveled around the world and met the most amazing people through CS. I don't think traveling will ever be the same for me again.
