I am a scandinavian nomad who loves exploring life through dancing, travelling and new people. My journey is to reduce planning and control, defy normal, being spontaneous, adventurous and shining for life.

Pois, sou apaixonada pelo mundo lusófono. Estou sempre procurando mais conexões e oportunidades dos países lusófonos e quero arranjar-me mais possibilidades praticar a língua portuguêsa, aprender mais canções tradicionais, encontrar outros forrózeiros e fazer amizades novos.

I am passionate about dancing. It is my life, my remedy, my soul. I am also a singer, a feminist and a warrior for social justice and equity. I love lazy mornings and looooooong breakfasts -it is necessary for my creativity. I make the best coffee in town and get excited of a really good debate! I hate museums but love urban art and innovative cultural events.

I am a professional facilitator with expertise in participatory processes and community-based development through drama and applied theatre.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Learning from locals. Sharing life. Living the details. Managing my on-going urge for leaving. Aprender mais a língua portuguêsa e fazer amizades novos dos países lusofonos. Definitely not because I want to be your tourist guide.

音乐、电影和书籍

Music: Seu Jorge, Fatoumata Diawara, Liset Alea and Nouvelle Vague, Sara Tavares, Thaïs Morell, Bomba Estéreo, Fuel Fandango, Vasco Ribeiro Casais and OMIRI, Kláudio Hoshai, Rihanna and Los Cafres to mention some of the artists on my playlist at the moment.

Books: At the moment I'm reading about the queen of Jordan Noor al-Hussein a.k.a Lisa Halaby, the American-born wife of the king Hussein. At the same time I'm also loving Zadie Smith's Swing Time. I've enjoyed a lot Khaled Hosseini's production such as The kite runner and A thousand splendid suns. I was laughing out loud with Erlend Loe, a Norwegian author and his philosophical fiction Naïve. Super.

Movies: The most interesting and powerful movies I've seen recently are Heleno, based on a true life of one of Brazil's greatest soccer players of all time Heleno de Freitas and Marvel's Black Panther, a superhero movie in which all the true leaders are women. It holds an empowering message: you can be strong, powerful and sensitive, intelligent and beautiful, all at the same time.

教，学，和分享

Sharing music and stories together. I also warmly welcome discussions of history, politics, culture, religion, economy, social and power structures, indigenous rights, women's rights and the correspondence in ethnicity, identity and nationality around my kitchen table.
