I'm a brazilian from Pernambuco, land of the best Carnival in the world(it is not Rio de Janeiro, trust me) living in Aveiro, Portugal doing research in Astronomy at the University. I'm really proud of my homeland, but not in a ufanist way.
I am very interested in history, local traditions and legends, and I am knoledge sponge, trying to learn always. =)
Love deep and meaningful conversations about all possible themes, that involves politics, science, music, art, etc.=)

I share an apartment with two friends, from Romania and Poland. We are nice people and have a very comfortable couch-bed. =)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have interest in knowing different cultures, and a good way is by the local people. To get a glimpse of their view of the cities is something I really like. Also, sharing and trading knowledge and experiences is good for everyone, and we learn a lot from people from different places who have various ways of living and their own ideas of the world!=D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think I've done a good job teaching physics in high-school in 2016. I put all my efforts not only to give "physics classes", but had an amazing experience putting myself as equal in relation to the students, and supporting them. Also, developing projects and giving all the social and historical context of the physics development, not forgetting the injustices and sexism that exists in Science. That's an experience I want to repeat again, and that I'm really proud of. =)
