CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy as much as I can everything I do - you never know what comes next - that´s what my mom says and she´s older then me ;O)

ABOUT ME

I am Portuguese, at least in my passport ;O)
I was born in Germany, educated in Germany, lived most time in Germany so I would say I´m in the end half German, half Portuguese. I always say 60/40 and it always depends on my mood which part is stronger. I´m definitely more latin then what most think of Germans but certainly have my life more structured then what most think of Portuguese ;O) - I always liked to talk to everyone and learn fast,so languages were extremly important to be able to talk to everyone while travelling! open minded, active, like to laugh, flexible, like to help others, friends and family important to me, see them happy makes me happy, i am no barbie worried with how I look like, but am what i am and i think i´m ok ;O)

PHILOSOPHY

As it is good for your health, I decided to be happy !
Voltaire

Only if you are satisfied and happy with yourself you can make others satisfied and happy in the longrun !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

6 months travel through Soucth America 2005 with my backpack, amazing how much you can learn ...

Teach, Learn, Share

if we all share, teach and learn with each other, there would be less hate and therefore less problems and wars in this world - this idea of couchsurfing is a small step in this direction, but as we know, there needs to be a start for everything - so let´s go !
