CURRENT MISSION

"One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody." Mother Theresa; "I may not approve of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" (V.)

ABOUT ME

________________________________________

I have ceased to know how to define myself.

But I can venture to say what I like.

I like to share experiences with people from other countries,
I like chatting on the balcony,
I like smiling, I like to learn things from others, I like to teach the few things I know, I like to hear stories, I like dreaming about someday I'll live in a place I can move to my work on a bike...

I like creative people, I like to wake up under the trees, I like the ecology, I like children's illustrations.

I like rainy and gray days, I like to walk barefoot at home, like reading well-written texts, I like to hear someone singing well, I like to find bits of places that do not come in the guides. I like hugs. And simple and different people.

I love to feel that, when leaving me, people feel better and richer than when they arrived.

PHILOSOPHY

"Maybe I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it." (Voltaire's phylosophy and mine too)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to participate in CS meetings when I'm abroad (and now, trying to begin that habit in Viseu, also),I always repond to requests, whenever I'm at home I try to be free to host people.

When being hosted... it's not to stay at a free place... not at all!!! it's because I believe that every host is a potential friend and someone who can also be enriched by your presence. I always try to bring with me... some portuguese poduct... so, you may feel free to ask ;) a book, a chocolate, a bacalao slice ;)

I've hosted:

- Mateus
Reference written: Mateus Madail...] NEW reference
Mateus Madail Santin has written the following reference about you on your
profile:

Katy is a fantastic person. She is generous, makes a very good food. I felt
very comfortable and was a pleasure to have been hosted by her. I hope she
can one day go to Brazil and I can repay all the
hospitality.

Do not forget to give water to Alpha! :-)
