About Me

Profile Update:
Hosting in Darwin, Australia since September 24’. Please, read (at least part of) my profile. I like to open my mind hosting/surfing with people from different backgrounds, but I appreciate a minimum intersection between our values/interests, so mentioning it on our request will increase the chances of me to host you. I’m quite busy lately, so won’t have much time to show you around. However, if I host you I’ll do my best to spend at least a meal a day with you so we can get to connect while you’re surfing here!

Last minute requests are ok (I don’t plan my travels in advance), but a bit harder for me to coordinate and accept your request quickly. I sometimes don’t open the app for some days, so don’t expect a response immediately. Leave your WhatsApp number if that’s the case.

Now, about me…

Nature lover, yogi, industrial engineer (this is one of the things I less identify with nowadays), organic gardener, confident, positive, lover, open to whatever the universe offers to me. Vegetarian. Dog person, but also love cats. Star sign Aquarius, so independent and self sufficient most of the time. Traveler (yes!), singer, dancer. Uncomplicated... :)

PHILOSOPHY

We’re one, and once we realize our connection with everything around us, then the magic starts to happen. I love connecting with people who believe in universal magic! And I love even more to see when people start to find out about that!

Nothing is good or bad, nothing is permanent. There is no sense in regretting the past or worrying about what is to come. Plan, but be flexible to change it.

The only 2 things we know in life:
1st we’re going to die.
2nd we don’t know when.
Enjoy the moment. Today is the best day!

Exchanging culture and helping each other is the way to grow as universe inhabitants. We should get more awareness that we’re just part of a living system, interdependent of all living and non-living parts.

Love and gratitude!
