What motivates us is the dream of living in a world where everyone is accepted and respected for who they are. We truly believe in the power of connection, empathy, and cultural exchange to make that possible.

Marcos is passionate about music and is often found playing his guitar or sharing songs that inspire him. He’s also a true coffee lover — he even owned a café in our hometown! He’s great at both brewing a pour-over and creating beautiful latte art.

I’m Aline. I’ve always had a curious heart and a strong desire to explore the world. I’ve lived in Ireland for a year and in Portugal for four years, which gave me the chance to dive deep into different cultures. I currently work in digital marketing, which allows me to live a more flexible and nomadic life doing what I love.

We’re a calm and easygoing couple who enjoy the simple pleasures of life. We love watching good movies, discovering new restaurants, and — above all — cooking together. Cooking is one of our favorite ways to relax and enjoy each other's company.

For us, traveling is more than just visiting new places — it’s about reconnecting with the world, different cultures, and ourselves.

Our purpose is to keep growing, learning from others, and contributing wherever we go. We hope to leave a positive mark — no matter how small — on every person and place we encounter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We’re on Couchsurfing because we believe that the best travel experiences go far beyond tourist spots — they happen through real connections with local people.

For us, traveling is a way of constant learning, and Couchsurfing gives us the chance to meet people who truly represent the soul of each place we visit. It’s an opportunity to create meaningful bonds, share stories, cook together, laugh at our differences, and learn from every culture.

We live a nomadic lifestyle, and Couchsurfing is not just a more accessible way to explore the world — it’s a way to make the journey deeper, more human, and more authentic.

We believe hospitality is a two-way street, where we give and receive with gratitude.
