CURRENT MISSION

Finish the internship in Paris and go back to Brasil.

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm not so good in descriptions.
I was born in a little town 2 hours from São Paulo. Maybe that's why I always wanted to discover the world: I didn't enjoy a country way of life... When I was 17, I went to Campinas, the second biggest city in the state of São Paulo, to start the Civil Engineering studies, and it was awesome! After 4 years, not satisfied, I made the inscription to enter in an exchange study program, and since August 2007, I'm living in Lyon, France, studying at INSA-Lyon. I'll stay here until August 2008. So I'll come back to Brazil and finish my studies...

Something I can say about me... Well, I try to have always some life goal. Sometimes I reach it, sometimes not... but I feel that it makes me grow up. That's good!

After being away from family and friends, I discovered that life isn't made of great moments, but simple and routine moments, these we don't care about for years, and then, when it finishes, I knew that they were the great moments. So, be aware! Maybe you're living the best moment of your life, and you didn't notice that ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Let life guide you...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just knew about CS in March. A friend of a friend of mine came to Lyon and slept in the couch of people she doesn't know. That's how I knew about the project.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couch: Hocky (Hong Kong) and Paulo (Paris);

People's couchs: Denise (Berlin), Pawel (Krakow) and Daniel (Prague).

Interests

I'm interested in Arts, in spite of I don't understand very much about it. But I guess the culture, in general, is something that makes me think a lot in the moment. Get in a exchange program is something that makes you think more about certain simple things I never thought before...

• arts
• culture
• engineering
• tourism

Music, Movies, and Books

I love movies... I enjoy dramas.
Music. Essential! I enjoy rock, pop, electronic, popular brazilian music (MPB), and others...
Books: I really enjoy reading, but that's something I don't do right now. Brazilian (fine) literature is my favorite.
