About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn how to respect and teach how to respect the others...=)

ABOUT ME

I live with my mom and an aunt.
I love being with the beloved ones: my friends, my family, my boyfriend.
Passions: dancing, pilates, books, beer, coffee, movies, music, my niece and my nephew.
Things I hate: driving, green pepper, racism, homophobia.
My favorite book: Blindness, by José Saramago, a Portuguese writer.
My favorite movie: Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain
I lived in Montreal, Canada, for 8 months, and that was the best experience in my life.
People always laugh when I say I'm shy, beacause communication is one of my strong features. But yeah, I might be shy once in a while, specially in big groups where I don't know anyone. But if you make me comfortable, you'll have a great conversation!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunatelly, I can't offer a couch in my home in Brazil because I live with my mother and my aunt, and they wouldn't do it. But I'll try to participate as much as I can in other ways, and if one day you come to my city, I can guide you around!=)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I still don't have anyone to tell, but I'm looking foward to it!=)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Brazilian music (samba, samba rock, popular music)
Movies: my favorite is Amélie Poulain, 'cause it gives me an optimistic view of life. Others: anything that isn't a hollywood blockbuster, althought I watch it sometimes.
Books: Blindness, by Saramago, and many, many, many others...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Chile by bus, from São Paulo to Santiago (3 days traveling), and that's it: the Andes are the most amazing thing I've seen in my life. You start seeing it from a very long distance, and it grows, and grows, and grows, and suddenly you're inside the mountains. There's nothing more impressive than that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you the best brazilian songs you'd never think you'd know.

I'd love to learn how to cook a dish from your country/city/state.
