About Me

CURRENT MISSION

We are in and out all over the year. We mean, we travel a lot and since we live this "covid sucks" situation now, we are able to see and host people but, at the first oprtunity we have to ride a bike or go somewhere, here we go!

Rafael is a tour leader so it is possible that most of the time he is not here.

Sharing life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW WE PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Our participation in this site is very simple and relaxed: we help people to find a place to stay, even if we can't give it or it's a last minute request. One thing that we don't like so much in Couchsurfing, is the people that are making of this place a site ruled by...many rules! For us to share with others is more important then to visit a city or go to party and we understand that some people use this site as a hotel - WE DON'T LIKE, BUT... - when they have just 1 day to visit a city, what can we say?! The problem with te rules, is that people don't relax, they live to much this site, and put thousands of laws...can't understand. It's amazing for us that some members put some "codes" in the texts on their profiles, just to see if we read all...amazing!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We've been receiving people from all over the world and it's an amazing experience! Never had a problem till now! People see world in diferent ways, and that's wonderful! You grow up when you know other!
