CURRENT MISSION

Live, love and "work my garden" (Voltaire, Candide)

ABOUT ME

Head in the clouds and feet on Earth, which requires a strong sense of balance. Brave, stubborn, fiery, I speak seven languages and two quarts, even body language. Passionate reader, animated dancer, energetic walker, occasional poet.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Help and you will be helped.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Showing around when possible, spreading the word about this great project too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met a few people in Salvador de Bahia through it and I surfed the couch of a very nice couple from Montevideo, Uruguay. A couple from Lithuania surfed my couch in Barcelona and I just started attending Lisbon meetings.

Interests

Life, nature and people. Love to walk, read, watch films, dance, talk, hike, swim, watch theatre and contemporary dance. I am really interested in anthropology/cultural studies, that's why I enjoy meeting people of different nationalities/religions. And I don't consider skin colour an identity mark.
