Hi there, we’re Larissa and Charles and after traveling around the world for 6 years, we’ve decided to settle (at least for some time) in Australia. We have a huge passion for getting to know the world, people and their stories. Every day is a surprise on this journey and we never know how the next day is going to be. We’ve met so many nice people and had beautiful experiences through CS hosting and being hosted. We really wish to be able to return the favor and host many more travelers.

We’re from Brazil, a beautiful nation full of lively and joyful people. We have a travel blog called “Casal de Mochilão” (@casaldemochilao) and we share our experiences there.

We’re very sociable, fun and open-minded people. We like to spend our time outdoors, hiking, camping, hanging out with friends and family, but we also love to spend some quiet time just reading and watching movies.

I’m Larissa and I’m also Italian. I went to Italy in 2018 to recognize my Italian citizenship, as I have Italian descent in my family. During this time, I worked as an au pair with an Italian family and it was a beautiful experience.

I graduated in Veterinary Medicine, but I worked until 2018 in a bank in Brazil. I’m vegan and love animals and nature. I’ve been practicing yoga for some years and it was a big change in my life. During the pandemic, I became a yoga teacher. I taught it online for some time but right now I’m not really teaching. I’m also passionate about music. Although I am not that skillful, I love playing the guitar and singing.

Charles graduated in Advertising. He’s also a drummer and has published a book. We share most of the same interests, but he’s a little bit more into sports and soccer than me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We want to have real experiences while traveling and we think that meeting new people and sharing experiences is one of the best ways to do it

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving everything we had behind to explore the world is definitely the most amazing and life changing experience we could have

Teach, Learn, Share

We can share everything we know about our country, culture and the places we've been. We want to learn about everything. Every person we meet has an impact on our lives and helps us in the process of learning.
We are always willing to share good vibes and stories :)
