About Me

CURRENT MISSION

So much to see, so much to learn...

ABOUT ME

Well, I think I‘m nice hehe I try to listen to what people have to say. I try to understand their way to see things.
However, I also like to talk a lot. For me to talk+to listen=to share, that‘s the way I see it.
I love to dance, to have nice drinks while chating in a bar, to take long walks and to enjoy the view. I enjoy getting lost, finding new and unexpected things, meeting locals and foreigners... To follow the basic turistic programs, to discover underground and unkown bars and restaurant no turist would know about.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be as open mind as I can. CS is about getting to know people and not let your pre-judgements get you before you know someone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I can't host anyone on my couch, but I can certainly help people finding hostels and having a good time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

During an Erasmus period in Portugal I could get to know the CS Experience a bit better. Only hosted on coffee/drinks, surfed once in Germany, and it was great.
With CouchSurfing we can manage to meet people, talk about all kinds of stuff, share information, stories...

Interests

Movies, Dancing, Drawing, Drinking, Partying
I'm a big fan of eletronic music parties, dancing all night.. but i can also stay at home, watching a movie or the sunset by the river, chilling, listening to music or just enjoying the view in silence.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My first trip alone, to Buenos Aires.
I was on vacation from work for just a week and booked a hostel in Palermo.
I didn‘t know exactly what to expect from this trip, but I can say it changed my life.

I was lucky to make real friendships during the time I was in Buenos Aires. People from other countries, with experiences to share, which made me open my eyes to a different point of view from everything.

I met backpackers, who were travelling for 6 months, a year or more, and I first thougt “what? don‘t these guys miss their home?“. But then I would talk to them and understand the backpacking experience and all the wealth that comes with it.

The 7 days I spent in Buenos Aires made me see the travelling experience with different eyes. As soon as I was back in Brazil, I started following blogs about travelling, backpacking, and subscribed myself for two exchange programs for my University. I lived 06 months in Portugal, travelled around Europe as much as I could and now I‘m planning a trip to California - and this is just the beginning.
