About Me

I'm a librarian, so travelling - even if it is throughout books - is an important activity for me. I'm born in Brazil, I spent five years in Ethiopia and now, I'm leaving in Morocco. All those experiences showed me that we really know people when sharing moments with them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people, actually. Traveling and lodging in hotels make the encounter more difficult and superficial. Receiving someone or being received, creates a more personal relationship with stronger links : it's easier to become friends with someone you have in your own house than with someone you just crossed during breakfast time in a hotel restaurant or lounge

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kind of music : I just consider that there are good and bad songs in every music style, but my favorite songs are : Adore (Smashing Pumpkins), Scream (Paolo Nutini), Step Out (José Gonzalez), Playground Love (Air), Trio op 100 (Schubert), Jubilee Street (Nick Cave and the bad seeds);

My movies : the secret life of Walter Mitty, Magnolia, O auto da compadecida, Kill Bill and Deathproof, Deadpool, Soul Kitchen ...

Books ... Jesus, it will be hard to chose only a few and too long to list all of them ... let's go : Moby Dick, Le livre dont je ne suis pas le héros, Culottées 1 & 2, the Harry Potter series, Memorial do convento, The Secret Garden, the curious incident of the dog in the night time, little women, Oliver Twist and David Copperfield, Um inimigo do povo, Charlottes's web ...
