We’re a small family: Signe (but everyone calls me Cece) originally from Belgium, Nalu (born and raised in the South Bay, LA), and our 2-year-old daughter, Remi. We live in Portugal, where we run a small hospitality business and property management company by the ocean. Life there is all about connection, nature, and simple living.

We’re spending some time around the South Bay area to help Nalu’s mom move back with us to Portugal. It’s a special trip for us: a chance to reconnect with family, introduce our daughter to everyone, and be together again after living abroad for a few years.

We’re calm, respectful, and grateful guests: always happy to help with cooking, cleaning, gardening, or anything that supports the home we’re welcomed into.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We’re here because we believe in sharin, not just spaces, but experiences and kindness.
We’re looking for a welcoming place to stay while visiting family in California without paying the crazy Airbnb prices, and we’d love to give back however we can.

We’re flexible, tidy, and very mindful of other people’s space and routines. For us, this isn’t just about saving money, it’s also about being part of a community!
