About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling! :)

ABOUT ME

VERY VERY VERY open minded, like talking A LOT and travelling...I'm a compulsive traveler right now, actually. Love meeting people and not shy at all. I'm a journalist but right now is not a priority in my life. I love writing, reading, learning languages and playing cello, doublebass and oboe. Also, a videogame and rollercoaster fan. Crazy about animals, love volunteer job and yes, I'm a smoker... Love sleeping! I like a lot of things, so sometimes is very hard for me to focus. I'm very honest and always speak my mind out.

PHILOSOPHY

I see my life as a book, and since I want to become a writer, this is the most important one I am ever going to write. So I try to add as many interesting chapters as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a volunteer, doing fundraising for the organization that I used to work, I began with my partners to do couchsurfing. It was AMAZING so far. Not a single complain!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I will never forget Rachel and John in Michigan, they hosted 14 volunteers at the same time in their tiny but cozy apartment. It was crazy but very funny! Also Ben was amazing with us, we had a great time at his place in California. Unforgettable!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All of them are very random and start with: "Well, it's a long story..." Just a few: being with a korean guy inside a police car in Florida and attend his first comunion in a brazilian church even when he is an atheist... take a fishermen boat and arrive in a clandestine way to an island in Mozambique and walk for 15 km until find someone alive... spend new year's eve in a court in New York... travel with 300 people sharing 3 bathrooms... and so on...

Teach, Learn, Share
