CURRENT MISSION

Getting to know new people, exchanging knowledge and experiences, practicing languages and having a good time in the company of interesting and pleasant people!

ABOUT ME

I was born in Brazil but always dreamed about travelling the whole world!! I've studied Marketing and Psychology, worked as an English teacher and as a Marketing Researcher. I also did internships and vonlunteered at elderly homes. I'm easy-going and a people person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I share an apartment with other people, I can't offer my couch, but I am open to meet new people and to share knowledge and experiences!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't used CS for travelling, but I have been to plenty of the CS meetings and had a great time!

Interests

I love travelling and getting to know new places and new people, learning about their culture and tasting their food! I really enjoy going out for drinks or eating out with my friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: The Artist, The Iron Lady, Departures, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (most recently seen and that I think are worth watching); Closer, La piel que habito, Black Swan, Cine Paradiso, La vita è bella (my preferred from all times!)

Music: I'm very ecletic and love finding out new music. My preferred styles are MPB (Brazilian Popular Music), pop and dance music. But I also love Indian and Turkish music.

Books: I've been reading a lot of Psychology stuff for my tesis, but one of the latest non-psy books that I read and liked a lot was "El imperio eres tú", which was written by a Spanish writer who tells the History of Colonial Brazil. Very interesting!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Air balloon ride in Capadocia (Turkey); boat ride in the Ganges river (India); safari (South Africa); went all the way up the Basilica di San Pietro (Vaticano) and La Sagrada Familia (Barcelona).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach: how to speak Portuguese, cook "brigadeiros" (yummy chocolate candies very typical in Brazilian birthday parties) and basic samba steps!

I would like to learn how to: speak French, sing and play a music instrument.

I could share: some recipes that I have been trying lately.
