Born and raised in Brazil. Moved to Oahu to study. Then to Maui for work and now in Kauai enjoying life!!! I am new to Couchsurfing and looking forward to meeting people from different cultures, sharing meaningful conversations and life experiences. I believe every person we meet comes into our lives for a reason, and that traveling is as much a spiritual journey as it is a physical one.

Please read my profile including about my home and couch before requesting to stay with me. And note that I'm on Kaua'i, sometimes people write asking about other islands. I’m a free spirit and dedicated to living a life that I love. I love to travel and explore and I've been to all seven continents. I eat healthy and take care of my body. I use natural medicine and avoid all artificial chemicals. To me, everything is sacred; I love nature, animals and plants, and I try to live the most sustainable life I can. While I have a logical and scientific mind, I also know that everything is energy and there is much more to life that we can perceive with our five senses. I’m friendly, respectful, clean, intelligent, interesting, unconventional and committed to my personal and spiritual growth. I believe that I can learn something from everyone I meet, and I aim to inspire other people to live their dreams and their best possible lives. Soy una espíritu libre y estoy dedicada a vivir una vida que amo. Me encanta viajar y explorar y he visitado todos los siete continentes. Como sano y cuido mi cuerpo. Uso solo medicina natural y evito químicas artificiales. Para mí, todo es sagrado; amo la naturaleza, los animales y las plantas, e intento vivir lo más sostenible posible. Aunque tengo una mente lógica y científica, sé que todo es energía y hay mucho más en esta vida más allá lo que podemos percibir con nuestras acepciones. Soy amable, respetuosa, limpia, inteligente, interesante, libre de reglas y dedicada a mi crecimiento personal y espiritual. Creo que puedo aprender algo de cada persona que conozco, e intento a inspirar otras personas a vivir sus sueños y sus mejores vidas posibles. PHILOSOPHY (I love this section from the old CS profile, so I'll keep it) Never stop learning and growing. Be kind. Love freely. Love yourself. Forgive. Spread happiness. Smile. Have fun. Respect and celebrate diversity. Make of list of everything you want to do in your life and then go do it! Live your dreams and don't let fear stop you. The enjoyment of life and increase of personal and global happiness is the responsibility of each individual to themselves and the universe. If you want to change the world, you have to start with yourself. FILOSOFIA (Me encanta esta parte de viejo perfil de CS, entonces lo guardo) Nunca dejar de aprender y crecer. Ser amable. Amar libremente. Amar a ti mismo. Perdonar. Difundir la felicidad. Sonreír. Divertirse. Respetar y celebrar la diversidad. Hacer una lista de todo que quiera hacer en su vida y luego hazlo! Vivir sus sueños y no permite el miedo detenerse. Cada persona tiene la responsabilidad para disfrutar la vida y aumentar la felicidad personal y global. Si quieras cambiar el mundo, comenzar con tu mismo. Caminante, no hay camino. Se hace camino al andar. Traveler, there is no road. You make the road as you walk it.

Aloha! 🤙🏽 Born and raised on Kauai, loves the ocean and meeting cool people that have the same passion of travel or just life in general. Connect with souls that have a similar purpose. I own and run a 22 acre organic exotic fruit farm with roughly 3,000 fruit trees and tend to my 🐝 bees for delicious golden tropical honey 🍯 . I'm a mellow surfer that loves to travel and appreciates life! I try not to let things bother me and when they do I just hop in the water for a surf or on my boat out to sea to fish 🎣 and that usually does the trick. I train and teach martial arts and enjoy the physical and mental aspects of it. A kind heart goes a long way. Manifest your dreams because there really is no limits to possibilities. I don’t ask for much if you stay. Just have a kind personality, please be respectful, clean up after yourself, a 12 pack of non-gmo beer or seltzer…and a block of cheese 😂

Spontaneous backpacker, engineer, and hobbiest documentary filmmaker.

Im Rome, roaming the world a few months at a time. I stay true to the name. I’m a writer and I love to dabble in all sorts of art forms. I also recently got into rock climbing and would love to do more of that across the globe!

I discovered Couchsurfing through friends, and once I started I got hooked! I share my love for traveling and hosting with my boyfriend Scott and now our daughter Écho. I'm open minded, always motivated to learn more about different cultures. There is nothing I'd rather do than travel the world to meet all of you that share the same interest! I'm always happy while I'm outside but the ocean is my favorite happy place.

CURRENT MISSION find the perfect cappuccino and drink really good beer!! ABOUT ME Words I live by: "If we do nothing- nothing changes" Hard working, easy going, on a mission to simplify my life...it's harder than I thought it would be!! Breaking the bonds of the "comfort trap", aka security, are proving to be most difficult. But I am closer now than I have ever been thanks to my many CS friends and experiences. *UPDATE- Dec '09 I quit my job, sold most of my possessions and began traveling. **UPDATE II- July '10 and back in the states(for the moment), refreshed and on a new debt free path! I plan on traveling and working here and there in what ever part of the world I find myself. Excerpts from Sterling Hayden's "The Wanderer": "They are enmeshed in the cancerous discipline of security. And in the worship of security we fling our lives beneath the wheels of routine-and before we know it, our lives are gone" "But we are brainwashed by our economic system until we end up in a tomb beneath a pyramid of time payments, mortgages, preposterous gadgetry, play things that divert our attention for the sheer idiocy of the charade. The years thunder by, the dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked in the dust on the shelves of patience. Before we know it, the tomb is sealed" PHILOSOPHY I think behaving with integrity, living honestly and being open to the moment are the keys to being happy. Quotes from Antoine de Saint-Exupery: " It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What's essential is invisible to the eye." "A goal without a plan is just a wish" "He who would travel happily must travel light"
