Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Meet up with people from all around the world and share good cultural tips and tricks! (I just love to try regional dishes, just saying)
ABOUT ME
A former biology teacher/biologist/herpetologist and dancer in love with Interior Design and gothic architecture. Feminist and an amateur writer, but terrible speller. Dance and wildlife are my babies and design is about to be born.
PHILOSOPHY
“A gente nasce e morre só. E talvez por isso mesmo é que se precisa tanto de viver acompanhado.” Rachel de Queiroz
"We are born and we die alone. Perhaps, this is the reason why we need so much to live together." Rachel de Queiroz
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
As I'm a newcomer in Couchsurfing, I don't have any experience. But I'm looking forward to helping travelers as much as possible whether hosting or just meeting up to get a stroll through the city of Vancouver.
As a surfer, I'm not a big traveler myself due to other goals that I have in mind at the moment, but I'm willing to surf some couches during some of my school 'lay-offs'. :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Up to now, none. But I hope this will change in a near future. :)
