I am a cooking student with a great passion for food and traveling. I currently live in Brazil, but whenever I have time off university I try to travel as much as I can.
I have a plant based diet and I like to spend most of my time cooking vegan food, learning about it, reading, watching documentaries and testing new recipes.
Other than food, I'm a series addict, dog lover and I'm desperately in love with France!
I'm quite creative, fun, have very good sense of humour but do not tolerate any kind of jokes around sexism, racism, homophobia, mental and physical disabilities, mental disorders etc., which makes a lot of people think I'm boring or lame or no fun, but honestly I have the best time with myself and my friends.
I love going out for some drinks, meeting new people, getting on board of unexpected adventures and taking pictures of all that to look at them nostalgically later.
Some say I'm too often on my phone, which might be true when I am bored or feeling uncomfortable. I'm constantly in touch with my worried mother who stays in the other side of the Atlantic Ocean while I travel, with my brother and, through them, with my lovely dog <3

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel with my boyfriend, we want to meet new people and have unforgetable moments in each city we visit. When we spend too long in the same place, we get a room on AirBnB and it makes everything more expensive, obviously. But when it is only for a few nights, we realised that the best way of getting to know people is through couch surfing!
I don't believe that couch surfing is "free accommodation for backpackers". It is not for free. You will eventually pay with experiences, story telling, good conversations, sharing nice moments with a glass of wine and I in particular will always try to bring myself to the host through the food I can offer and the story it tells.

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music, I am pretty much a fan of everything. Really, it's hard to find music I don't like. I do have phases and moods, though! Even though I might just enjoy anything, I have a preference for calm, soft songs, where ther are not many things happening. I wouldn't know how to identify that style. It's just music that makes me feel calm. You see, I have too much going though my head constantly, so listening to loud, hard music for long can disturbe me a little bit. I can go hours listening to jazz. Blue. Old samba. Bossa nova. MPB. Some kinds of reggae. Soft rock. And others, I'm really not a music especialist at all and I usually say my taste for music suck cause I can't be a super fan of big important groups, I just like music. In general. With no names.
Now movies is a whole other thing. I love watching movies that will make me cry and feel iserable for the rest of the day, but I also get incredibly excited about watching the newest Disney movie. Or the oldest. Well I've watched all of them... I always put silly comedies to sleep, so I don't feel guilty about falling asleep half way through it (or on the first 5 minutes). I love anything that involves Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill and their crew, which for me has to include Jason Segel. I love anything with Tina Fey. Mean Girls is a classic. I have a major crush on Paul Rudd and will worship anything he starts on. Black Jack is my ultimate idol and I don't think anyone will ever take him off his post. Rock Academy is my bible. On the other hand, I enjoy some badass serious movies. Tarantino shit. I like some drama, explosions, people being brutally murdered. And I also like love stories. The cheesiest, the better. I like Woody Allen movies, but in a very ironic way. I don't like Woddy Allen, the person. Oh, I've watched most of Tim Burton's movies like 10 times each, and I don't get tired of it. Just like I don't get tired of Forrest Gump (and Tom Hanks anywhere else). Matilda. Titanic. Just like I will never get tired of Jude Law. Especially if he's on a movie with Jack Black. And Cameron Diaz. And Kate Winslet. I can't get over how amazing Meryl Streep is. Or Leonardo Di Caprio. Brad Pitt is the greatest thing ever, put him with Morgan Freeman or in Fight Club and you won't need anything else. I think the movie Bad Teacher is seriously underrated. I think Netflix is making an amazing job every day with every new movie released. I don't like Star Wars. I've watched it all. It is extremely overrated. Bad Teacher kicks Star Wars' ass 10 times in one second. I love The Lord of The Rings, but it requires patience. I could go on and on and on, going through Back to the Future and to the latest Oscar winners. But let's stop at: La La Land made me fall asleep in 15 minutes. High School Musical NEVER made me fall asleep. Moving on...
Books! I love biographies, I love books about tragedies. I'm not that into science fiction on books as I am on movies... I didn't read all the Harry Potter books and I don't think I ever will. I have to go back to Douglas Adam's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books. He rocks. But I'm mostly about real stories and facts. Or fictions that are like real stories. Except for Agatha Christie, an addiction, and J. J. Salinger. I read The Catcher in The Rye a few times before deciding to move on to other stories by him. I love culinary books, of course. Not only recipe books, as most people might think. The thing about books is that I read them and I forget about them fast. Which is good, sometimes I'm almost at the end of a good book and realise I've already read it. It's nice to be able to enjoy a good story twice. I haven't been reading much. Can't focus. Technology is making me forget about reading more books. I have to change this and I will.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I became friends with this guy, George, who lived on the streets of Paris one night, he didn't speak english or french, only Romenian, but somehow we communicated well through alcohol and cigarettes. It was a fun night. Next day I ran into him on my school's lunch break and he gave me a huge pineapple. It was the first time a homeless person gave me something, it felt quite special. I would see him and buy him lunch and sometimes eat with him, since he lived around my school.
I've probably done some really amazing things, but this came to mind now. Might not be amazing, but George was surely an amazing guy.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people about food, veganism, my country and I guess that's all I have enough knowledge to pass on with no risks of teaching bullshit. I can learn about everything else, literally.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experiences, my adventures, stories of when I traveled, the way I see the world. Recipes, food history, new points of view.
And, of course, a beer or a bottle of wine.
