About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Holiday Celebrate

ABOUT ME

I'm terrible with self-marketing

PHILOSOPHY

Kindness creates kindness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I may be able to host you but I prefer to receive one person at time (two is acceptable, three don't get comfortable here). I can also give you tips on where to go and what to do.

---

I'm organised with my stuff so I prefer to accommodate people who don't mess everything around. :)

If you're a teenager looking for craaaaaazy experiences in Brazil I may not be the right host.

I don't use CS as a dating site so the first thing I expect from a male guest is to be respected at my own place. Deal?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a great time with CS friends in France and Serbia and it was superb to see some of these people again a few years later in Brazil.

Interests

Photography, video edition, international politics, cultural differences, different experiences of life, gender issues and feminism (but I haven't found my own version of feminism yet).

I'm currently working as a journalist. I cover subjects related to the Brazilian foreign policy. I have been very interested in topics concerning the internet (governance, new technologies, impacts on life and society) lately.

* Living in Australia for two years

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to understand different traditions and cultures and I'm happy to talk about Brazil too.

I'm learning how to cook so I'll be very happy if we cook something together. Thai people are always welcome chez moi. Not only Thai people of course but I do love Thai food.
