About Me

I've recently graduated and am now doing a summer school on Sexuality Studies in Amsterdam. Until grown up life doesn't start for real, I'm trying to get the best of my free time and embark in small adventures to places I've never been with as many fun and interesting people I can meet :)

I'm really fascinated by science, people and how they think and feel things. I think it's always so rich and rewarding to see things from different perspectives.

When it comes to travel, I love meeting people, their cultures and unique stories. I am also very passionate about languages and would love to learn (and share) new words and ways of understanding life.

Tips and company for places to visit, what to eat and things to experience are very welcome! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find couchsurfing a great opportunity to meet interesting people and have an idea of what it's like being a local in the places where I'm visiting. I really like to know about people's favourite spots and experieces in the city. I find it a great way to exchange experiences and make travelling solo a rich adventure.

I've had some of my best experiences travelling while also couchsurfing (even though I'm quite new to this website in particular).

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm very eclectic with music. Right now, I'm listening to a lot of jazz and the Brazilian rhythms of MPB and Bossa Nova.

I like reading books in their original language if I can. I find important to know the exact wording and construction of sentences thought by the author. Until quite recently, I was obsessed with Valter Hugo Mãe's books, probably one of my favourite writers. I can tell you a bit about my preverences, especially in Brazilian and Portuguese literature, if you'd like :)

As for movies, I love good French cinema. "Les Chansons D'Amour" is a favourite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've volunteered as a medical student in the Amazon region for a week. One of the most rewarding and frustrating experiences I've had.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some of the Portuguese language and share a bit of my experience as medical student working in our public health system.
Bonus for Brazilian desserts and how to make a good caipirinha!
