Overview
About Me
We are two girls that love traveling, meeting new people, cultures and gastronomy. We love to walk around cities to get to know the native day to day, habits and also the places of interest of every city we visit.
We have a turtle, Lola, we love her :), she is a vegetarian and loves walking in the sun and paying attention to anything you say to her, she is a perfect secret keeper.
Currently traveling the world! 11 months so far and counting!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
We started our "around the world" trip in October and we would like to enjoy the native type of life instead of just the touristic one. We love meeting new people and are looking forward to make friends all around the world.
Interests
We are a little bit bookworms, we love to enjoy a lovely meal under the sun, we are crazy dancers (we dance like crazy women at home when no one is watching haha). We are morning people but enjoy nights out also.
We absolutely love cheese. We can not live without it.

We have been to 2 wonders of the world, snorkel in turquoise water, seen turtles, camped in tee plantations in India, walked through rice terraces in the Philippines and Vietnam, surfed, worked in a hostel for 5 months, been to the non reconstructed great wall of China, and so many stories more to tell.
