I am 38 years old, I love meeting people, connection with nature.

For me creating networks built on trust like CS is very important, as it helps us to connect to whats natural to us as humans - giving and recieving from the heart - and so building a different story than what society tells us, like everybody only looks for his own advantage.

CS Experience:

Though I don´t have written reviews from everybody, I had very nice connections and experiences with hosts in the following places. Most of the shared reviews are on the page of the person I went with (and was my CS teacher :) https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/blancamartin

Portugal a precious stay at Lisboa & Oporto
Japan - Tokyo, Nara, Kyoto
Especially thanks to Yoko Enomoto and her family who really made us part of their life for some days! Thanks Kunio Yagi for sharing authentic culture..

the only (small) pain I had in Japan is I did not feel a hug was welcome, so tough for me to say goodbye with so much love in the heart from a distant feeling bow!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There is a million ways to travel, for me right now I find it so much more satisfying to actually meet people and connect, share stories and food.. more than stay in fancy hotels - I saw a lot and found it sad most of the time for being so anonimous

Gratitute for a smile, the face of joy of somebody you could contribute to, the simple and powerful gesture of opening the door to somebody unknown. A soup served with love..
Those moments are happyness for me.

Community makes us powerful!
I think its important we people join our forces. Couchsurfing gives me a bit of that confidence.. we are not alone!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bicicle riding along Hawkesbury River (Sydney/Australia) to meet Profthe and Jackie at their "The Grove Gathering" venue. Not a very difficult trip, no overcoming of danger or spectacular sights, just a "walkabout" on a bike through green forests, staying with them, helping in the gardens, sharing loughter and stories.
