About Me

PHILOSOPHY

Passa bem ou passa mal, tudo no mundo e um passar.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While in Zurich, I go for coffee and drinks with CouchSurfers from around the world, which I always find very inspiring!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Before I knew Couchsurfing.org, I surfed many couches while traveling just by meeting people and getting invited. Back in Zurich I am not able to host people at my place, but I met several Couchsurfers for some drinks. On my trip on the east and west coast of the US I finally found the opportunity to make use of it and it was great! I met great people, saw amazing places and everywhere I felt very welcome!

Interests

What I really enjoy, is traveling, getting to know new people, hanging out with friends, Capoeira, riding my bike, cooking, contemporary art, climbing, swimming in lakes and rivers, live music...
