About Me

I'm just a genuinely scandalous laughter that decided to take a human shape. Besides that, I can say that I am a concert lover, politics and history knowledge seeeker, Human Rights enthusiast to the bone and the type of person that can listen beyond the words you're saying. I have a passion for walking and admiring cities, museums, drinking a beer, wine or a good cappuccino (as long as it is with vegetal milk).
For one year and a half I was a foreign soul growing roots in Romania, now I'm back in Brazil. I'm also vegetarian, trying to transition to vegan, and a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I see that couchsurfing can give you the chance of going to places and not getting stuck on your touristic point of view, specially when you travel alone (what I usually do). Wherever I go I usually try to stay in a friend or colleague's house, this way I can know the place through the eyes of the people who live where I visit, their stories, their connection to the place, while it also gives me the chance to have more comfortable and in-depth conversations, to talk about differences and also similarities between cultures and way of living. There's just a lot to learn.

Interests

Being a vegetarian, I'm interested in learning more about vegan way of living, since I'm trying to transition to it. I'm always up for acquiring more knowledge and discussing on history, politics, books overall, TV shows, music and movies.

Music, Movies, and Books

Thriller books, as well as young-adult literature, are among my favorite things to read.
When it comes to movies, animations have a place in my heart and anything else is secondary.
I like many different kinds of music, from Brazilian genres to pop, r&b, pop punk, indie, classic... You can add me on lastfm: https://www.last.fm/user/byemenezes

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked for AIESEC in Romania from August 2017 till December 2018 and during this time I've managed, together with my team, to change the lives of more than 20,000 people and this is probably the most amazing thing that I'll ever be able to accomplish in life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always willing to share the things that I've been learning through life, and curious to learn the same from others.
