About Me

Already a traveler, the world is my home. :D
I like adventures and so I'm willing to take some risks when it comes to traveling. Rides, unknown places
I got the amazing opportunity to travel twice by a government program, which gave me this notion of what "world" is. I met wonderful people from many countries in Europe, Asia, South America, Oceania... and from this experience I knew my life would never be the same. I don't belong to one specific place.
In 2017 I decided to take a year off (Gap Year, yay!!) because I intend to apply to USA colleges later on, so I hope to find in other societies what I haven't found in myself yet .
I'm a Social interaction lover, I'm an artist, actress and someone free of judgment.
I study human behavior, neurology and, group interactions daily. Also, I'm learning German as my 3º idiom , for future purposes. Another thing I may add as an info about me is that dancing is "my thing" :D
haha
My dreams are unlimited, I'm still young. however, my values are consistent (My freedom ends where the other begins)
I wanna go somewhere without worrying about my return.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I'm new into this adventurous world, my plan is to backpack as many times as possible around the world and for now I just started my first one. The primary idea is to participate in a community in which I am able to meet people and new worlds (culture), traveling. Couchsurfing has this cool idea of connecting adventurers (like me, who have no money to travel ) to people who offer their home, and most of the times: affection.
I'm here for this exchange!
I often think that my classroom is the world, and my teachers are like people, so why not learn from them if I hav the opportunity to do so? Even if they are strangers, they certainly have stories that can contribute to my values.
I guess people are here to surprise one another and write pages on the 'Life history' book.
Oh, and of course, to make new and good friends ;)))

Music, Movies, and Books

I love every type of music, I mean it! all of them: Indie for reading in the cold, pop and eletronic for dancing, piano for chilling and get inspired by my new ideas. Every moment requires a different theme for our ears.

Lana Del Rey, Sleeping at last, Aquilo, Amber run, The neighborhood, Kodaline, Birdy, Aurora, Ed Sheeran, Sia, Linkin Park, The Fray, Katelyn Tarver, Paramore... also some Brazilian artists can be counted on this list.

I don't read much, I prefer movies, they are my hobby
but I like romance and fiction both film productions os literature

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done a few incredible things I can consider, even though I'm still a young 20-year-old woman.
The top one I can tell was to start a gap year after finishing high school and turning 18 and begin backpacking around Brazil. I know it is my own country, but it holds so much culture in it <3
I left my parents' home in order to study Brazilian societies and learn more about myself. I planned to travel 5 states in 30 days, but I ended up extending this until nowadays in which I live on my own in Rio de Janeiro.
With no family or friends for emotional (or even financial) support, I had to find a way of growing mature and independent. Lucky me, I found amazing people to share my experiences and grow some communication abilities and knowledge over time.
Now the plan is to say goodbye to Rio and find another home in this world.
This choice was the most independent one I could ever make. Some realities (depending on the country culture or/and education) can be tough, but also astonishing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some dancing, cooking, languages ​and bring a bit of humor and joy to your day
I ... All that can be simultaneously taught, learned and shared.
As in a two-way road, where cars eventually meet somewhere on the pathway.
