I love to hike, to travel and to breathe in non-polluted air, which I can find in the beach and in the mountains.

I like to read, do Yoga and Pilates (a lot), and walk in the forest (either hiking or just a walk). I also like to cook a lot, drink coffee, and share with people! I am a happy with a glass of wine and a good conversation. I like food, I'm vegetarian, and I find cooking (for your own or for people) is one of life's greatest pleasures!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to learn from new cultures, when traveling it's nice to meet new people, practice speaking a foreign language and/or help others practice. It's nice to know that you can count on people wherever you go and that people can count with you when they visit your country! Always take time to welcome the strange and unknown. (:
