I'm interested in culture, music, and life experiences. I live in a república (= student house, fraternity, coloc) in São Carlos, Brazil, where I study Engineering, and we always host exchange students who live and share good moments with us. That's motivated me to do the same.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to share stories and to know a little bit more about the lifestory of people I meet in the world.

I also like to dance (zouk, samba, forró, bachata, salsa), I can teach what I know. During my trips I want to learn about the traditions, the music and other modes of expression of local people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A smile, lots of stories, and good Brazilian food!
