Hey! I am currently a 2nd year PhD student in Regional Planning at UMass Amherst, so safe to say I like to learn new things and talk about cities and architecture. I am Brazilian and will live in the US for another 3 years until I finish my studies.

I absolutely love traveling, eating good food and drinking wine. And occasionally I run and do yoga to compensate for all the eating haha

I do not have talent to writing about myself, but I guarantee I am not a stalker and am honestly interested in having a good time (always, cause life is short) and in talking/listening to people's stories. I am outgoing and laid-back - however, pretty clean and organized.
Hope we meet in person if you wanna stop by Amherst!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a couch and I love meeting new people, so why not? Besides, I understand how expensive traveling can be, and when we are young it is so much nicer to go to a place and already know someone.
So yup, I am amazed it took me this long to sign up.

Interests

omg... food. music, lots of music, architecture, planning, drawing, did I say food?
Good wines, speaking, dancing like there is no tomorrow, studying, reading something exciting and traveling. And shoes (sad to admit).

Music, Movies, and Books

Any music that plays in the youtube chanel "La Belle Musique" = lounge is the best to study (which is what I do most of the time).
Anything that makes me dance.. I am very open when it comes to music so anything fits in this box (except for hard rock/punk and country music, sorry).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting the Great Wall of China was pretty amazing!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My couch turns into a futon, it is really not the most comfortable but it is an ok option. I also have a large inflatable mattress. My home is pretty nice (I think) and the living room is spacious.

Other than the sleeping arrangements I can share anything else in my home, I am not attached ;) Hopefully I can help with whatever you need.
ps: I do not have a car.
