About Me

ABOUT ME

I was a brazilian student living in Germany, and at that time I traveled quite a lot, normally backpacking and that was the best part of my life! First, to study mechanical engineering and materials sciences, and then, to study German Language and Literature in a Pedagogic School (both universities located in South Germany). And finally, I am graduated in German. I came back to Brazil (Florianópolis) and became a teacher. I used to work a lot. And when a teacher say a lot, it's really a lot: I teached at the University, at a Waldorf School and private. That was until 2013. Since that, I am living again in Curitiba, the city where I was born. I am now a Public Servant at tha Public Prosecutors Service, and still teaching some evenings, when I have some free time. I am living at the moment with my parents, studying a lot and that's why it is so difficult for me to host now, so I am sorry. But if you come to Curitiba, let me know, I can help you with some infos and...: I like to go out, to hear good music, Rock, Blues, Jazz, Bossa Nova, Latin, Indie, 80's, Classical Music, cultural programs or some happy hour .... everything depends on the moment!I like to watch movies. My favourites are from Europe, Iran, China, Japan, Brazil, Argentina... Some movies from America, ok, but when they try to have a different style, most european style I would say... and Ok, that's an "allll about me" so, let's talk about my feelings LOL I realy love my family... I´m an easy- and outgoing, veeery talkative :D and language-loving person! I love poetry, to write and read, I love painting, love museums and I think life couldn´t be possible without knowledge, passion, all kind of arts, friends and the people I love arround me.

PHILOSOPHY

Helping, Learning, Smiling!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf more than I host.
Just because I love to travel, and people are accepting me, thankfully!
I am just not hosting more now because I am living again with my parents and I also work and work a lot during the week and travel sometimes on weekends...
But I would love to help people here: if you need something in Curitiba, don´t hesitate to contact me!
