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 to 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’re sharing 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 a quiet time 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 descendence in my family. During this time, I worked as an Au Pair with an italian family and it was a beautiful experience.

I’m graduated in Veterinary, but I worked until 2018 in a bank in Brazil. I'm passionate about photography, specially outdoors. I've been practicing yoga for some years and it was a big change in my life. I believe that keeping balance is a great way to keep healthy. During pandemic, I've become a yoga teacher. I've tought 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.
I´m vegetarian, love animals and nature.

Charles is graduated in Adverting, 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 :)
