I am Charlotte , curious , open-minded . I love to dance (especially Forró, some other social dances , but also modern and improvised , just following music and the own rhythm) , swim , do creative stuff .
I think there is so much to learn about the world and our lives by just committing yourself to the moment , I like to take my time for things I am doing , like to connect to the moment and people I am with .

This summer I want to experience Portugal . I have been here last summer for the music and dancing festival Andancas and a hike on the fishermen trail along the west coast . This summer I want to come back and maybe even practising the few words Portuguese I learned during the last three months ...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to meet locals, people and characters, get together, share room, time, experience with each other, exchange and get to know people.
This summer I want to travel Portugal and hope to experience the country through all of you guys even better by meeting and getting to know people who like to welcome me .

Music, Movies, and Books

I chose music depending on my mood , just discovered Bossa Nova for breakfast as a great start in the day . I love to dance Forró , also because of the beautiful music ; swing and gipsy jazz can't keep my feet still , folklore music makes me move as well . I enjoy instrumental music a lot , too , some classical , some very very modern , something in between .
