CURRENT MISSION

to experience people, things, places, monsters, oceans and roads as if they were hendrix's guitar music.

ABOUT ME

I'm certain it won't be ALL about me (and I'm terrible at this), but here we go: I'm an open-minded, cheerful, sometimes more quiet then I wished I was, easy-going and very curious girl, who likes a lot to learn anything at all, from medical stuff (yep, and I'm so glad I love what I do) to origami, philosophy, physics, flamenco dance, languages, aikido, biology, politics, poker or magic tricks. I almost sound like a child in my "yes, but why?" days.

Love music, cinema, people, smiles, cats, nature, good (and not so good) food and cooking... I like to try anything at all, especially typical food, and I think I never regreted it. :) I'm a very peaceful person, so I hate when someone turns some kind of disagreement into an unpleasant situation.

PHILOSOPHY

Living is letting a little bit of you on somebody and taking a little piece of him with you. Maybe we can also call it Loving. Being empathetic and understanding people gives my life a meaning. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I'm moving to Porto - Portugal in a few weeks, and as I'm going to have my own place with some friends, I'm looking forward to start hosting people and hanging around with them really soon! And, of course, I can't wait to travel all around life happens to take me and to meet great people (and why not friends) on my way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first couchsurfed when I was traveling with a friend in 2008. I had never done anything like it, and it was a wonderful experience! I met three different and very special people, who gave us much more than a couch to sleep on. It was the best way to enjoy our trip: meeting great people and feeling part of the city! :)

Interests

It's really really hard to find something I'm not interested in. I also like to fix damaged things (when I'm successful, otherwise it will ruin my sleep). Music fascinates me, but unfortunately I'm incapable of playing any musical instruments, though I'm working on the idea of solving this problem soon. Arts, languages, literature, people and human conflicts and rejoicing can be listed here, as well as beer and red wine.
