About Me

I gave up my job and house in Switzerland end of 2018. I simply wanted to move out of my comfort zone and explore South America. I did. Now Europe and maybe even for a bit longer. I want to travel, live and work in different places. I am lucky that I have found a possibility to work remotely with my passion - languages.
I speak 5 languages, love to learn more, meet people, culture, food and music! I have already spent more than a year in Guatemala in 2012, I lived in Uruguay during Corona-in 2020 and in Portugal for a couple of months. I am a kind and caring soul, easy to be with and I trust in the kindness of strangers, the good things in life and the universe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Simply because I like to do it the easy and local way and I love to be around people. I haven't been using the platform for a while.

Interests

I love to hear and speak different languages. I am learning Portugues and dream of going back to Brazil.
A happy day for me is to be active in the nature, walk, explore and then sit down with people (or alone) and have a glass of wine and good food.
