About Me

"Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing,
There is a field.
I'll meet you there."
- Rumi

Born in Brazil, with german citizenship and Japanese heritage, I am a simple person passionate about exploring ways to better understand our existence. For me human connexion is a big door open for that!

I've experienced being hosted by a lovely CS couple in Argentina, in 2011, and had a really great time with them! Since than, I couldn't host, and my gut was always begging for travelling, although I haven't travelled that much. In addittion, this last years, I was always hearing amazing stories with CS experiences, from my brothers and friends. Now I can say loud and proud that I'm back in Europe looking foward to meet new people and cultures. My original profile were is not available anymore, so here I am: old school and also all brand new :)

So, since I co-founded a Waldorf kindergarten in my early twenties, I continue to enjoy reading and learning and writing about all kinds of subjects related to health, psychology and spirituality. I'm fascinated about how it all works together so well.

Also, I love many modalities of physical practices. Cycling is fundamental for me and I'm looking forward to ride new roads and trails all over Europe. Last year, I started doing Tai Chi and it feels like I'm more of myself as I move! Besides, you will easily see me swimming, dancing, lifting weights or having fun with casual sports attempts - I'm not great in any of those, I'm more of a universalist then a specialist, when it comes to movement.

This way, I like to look at my self as really easygoing and chill and simultaneously with a adventurous enthusiastic spirit. I do enjoy a good conversation with people with different point of views of life, even more with a hot beverage in this nice cold weather around the alpes. Well, of course that a hot sand and a nice sea breeze are always very welcomed too! As well as hiking through woods towards a marvelous waterfall - that I've done many times around my birth city, in Brazil's mini-savana: the "cerrado" biome.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I really enjoy spending time with new and open minded people and having new experiences.

I do believe that having a nice good laugh, sharing tears and challenges or just admiring a peace of art or beautiful architecture building together - it all works one of the greatest keys to unravel mysteries of finding the enthusiasm for life!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm the first woman to own and ride a fixed gear bike in Brazil's Federal District :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I cam share great stories about Brazil's tiny savana, the "cerrado", it's people, animals and medicinal herbs. I can cook us Japanese or Brazilian dishes. Also, I would love to teach some mobility and strength exercises to release tensions and small pains in the body. We can also meditate together, do yoga or I can be your partner playing games indoor or sports outdoor. If you invite me to ride bikes around the town or country I'll probably melt out of delight. And if there's a bathtub or a frozen river around - and guts to do it, it's not for everyone - we can do some ice immersion baths! And, of course, for me is aaalways a good choice to chill at home, watching a good movie, listening to music (or making it), chatting or just reading around each other :)

I would love to learn whatever you know and like the most!
