About Me

CURRENT MISSION

learn to grow to share to create to spread love...

ABOUT ME

I am a dynamic, creative, generous, free-minded and curious person, who loves to share and have long conversations. Hungry for life! Believe in diversity as the richest thing in the world! Seek to grow among others with love, and learn from everything life has to offer...

PHILOSOPHY

I love anything authentic and true. I love deep connection with someone, I enjoy very simple things of life, a coffee, a book, a talk, a smile. I guess my philosophy is to create and invent my own way, make my life very personal and true to myself. Always being positive, independent, generous and grateful. In movement...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I just rent a room in a collective house with 7 students. But I had to sublet my room for the next 6 months, since I will be travelling. So I currently don't have a place/couch to offer. But I will be able to welcome travellers as for next summer 2015.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Feeling alive, no matter how...

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learnig and teaching! I am really into languages, here in Switzerland I've been teaching French, Italian and English to children. As well as art and music. Amazing experience!
More recently I have lived 3 years in New York City with Brazilian friends and learnt Portuguese so now I'm totally fond of this beautiful language.
Teach me what you love, I'll love it!
