About Me

I live North Bristol area so I'm not hosting as often for the time being. But I'm happy to meet people... 😊

I have a Frenchie dog called Candy that loves meeting new people, other dogs and going for walks. So always keen to meet up for a walk if you are up.

I'd be honoured to share a coffee/beer/wine/cider/juice/tea/ice cream or two with you and hope to hear about your life!

I love to have fun, old and new friends, positive mindsets, sincerity and open-minded people who are willing to share some life stories, thoughts and dreams... I love to gain life experience from every step I take, every person I meet and every place I know in my life...

People take different roads seeking fulfilment and happiness. Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they are lost.
- Dalai Lama

PHILOSOPHY
"The most dangerous worldview is the worldview of those who have not viewed the world."
-Alexander Von Humboldt

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Even before this existed I already surfed in many couches of friends of friends that were living in a city that I was travelling by or even of people that I met at parties or in hostels that I stayed.

I used to organize CS Bar Events in Funchal (Madeira Island, Portugal) because I love to have fun, meet people and have some drinks...

It's been a while since I met CSurfers but I'm keen to start meeting ppl again and maybe even restart CS Bar events in the North Bristol area... let's see!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My love story with my husband.

I quit my job in a multinational company to travel and explore the world when I was 24.

I lived in 6 different countries in 9 different cities and for me this is awesome!

I felt in love and took a plane crossing the Atlantic Ocean to meet my husband using an orthopaedic boot.

I watched the sunset in Ponta do Sol, Madeira Island. The place where receives more sun in all over Europe.

I helped a stranger in NYC street and them we became friends.

A Vivaldi concert in an old church in Venice. Amazing acoustic and atmosphere!

Surviving childhood!

I’m teaching myself how to code after my 30’s.

I can bake a delicious banana cake.
