About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Evolve by meeting interesting people and different cultures!
Raise our kids so they can be good world citizens!

ABOUT ME

Every time we try to describe who we are in these social medias, we are limiting ourselves to what we say here. We can always go back to the stereotyped sentence "We are friendly, easygoing, and open minded," but we think that are many people around who already use this phrase. We are so much more than that. We are a couple who has done many things together, who has seen many different landscapes and visited many places, but is never going to be enough for us. We truly believe that a mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions. We live a simple life, but we try to enjoy it at the most, by sharing our happiness with friends and family. We love to meet people from different cultures and countries, because we learn and evolve with them. We love traveling to typical and unexpected places and we love photography and science museums.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy family, friends, life and trips.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We hosted some very nice people so far. We spent a month traveling through Europe and we were very welcome everywhere we went.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Each place we visit, each person who visits us, every friend we make is part of this amazing experience called couchsurfing. What started as a simple way of traveling and meeting people abroad became a life style that some people do not understand. "Why open your house for complete strangers?" we have heard people ask. And the answer is very simple: we believe in people, we have faith on people, we should be open to every experience in our lives. This is our experience with couchsurfing.

WHY NO NEW REFERENCES SINCE 2010?

We took a break from couch surfing once we had our first child, then came the second, then life got really crazy busy! Now they are a bit bigger, so we want to start meeting people again on CS. :)
