Hi! I'm Sthefi, I'm Brazilian and 24 years old. Me and my boyfriend Felipe lived together in China for about 4 years, then moved to Portugal to continue our education.

I had great opportunities in my life so far, could travel a lot and experience many different cultures and meet people from everywhere. I always do my best to share my experiences and knowledge with anyone interested in listening to me haha and to get the best of what people have to offer me. So far couchsurfing allowed me to meet such awesome people, which helped me change some of my points of view about the world and open my mind to infinite new possibilities.

I am always trying to improve myself. I practice and enjoy Yoga a lot, I am studying a little about Buddhism and I'm really into finding a meaningful life style for myself. What bothers me most is all these people who just let life pass, keep complaining about everything but do nothing to help and change things for better. As the very popular saying says (and I believe): We need to be the change we want to see in the world.

Yeah, I can be a bit idealistic sometimes... But at least Ive had an interesting life story so far.

Notes: My bf is vegetarian. We always travel together. We don't really drink or party a lot, just a couple of beers on the weekends and live music. We dance bachata and are trying to learn salsa.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Me and my boyfriend are always traveling around when we can, and we love to meet new people, learn new cultures and share experiences. I think we have a lot to learn from what other people have to say and I find this idea of CS amazing! Why should people keep spending money in hotels and stuff while so many people have free space and a big heart? This is just to keep consuming and capitalism growing, and I'm a bit against it, so I want to help everyone I can to keep this community growing.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Travel... I have 24 Y.O and I've been to more places then most people I know, even my parents. And I feel I've learned a lot with all these experiences.

教，学，和分享

I don't have much to teach, maybe some basic yoga, portuguese/english/spanish/chinese, traveling experience, etc. But I have lots to learn. We always have something new to learn from every experience.
