About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Discover South America, travelling makes me a happy person
ABOUT ME
I'm a happy person that smiles a lot. I'm open to learning languages and cultures, but for real. If I have to eat something weird I'll try at least. Oh, and I'm the one that loves traveling so much that some people are like "where in the world are you right now?". I like that, cause even if I'm just at home, it gives me an adventure feeling.
Something I love about traveling is getting to know well the place and its people, so if I can I'll stay longer.
PHILOSOPHY
I keep my spirit trying to be as positive as I can. If people try to bring me down I won't let. Well, I will do my best at least. It's normal to have moments of ups and downs, life is not a straight line where nothing happens, no. You will have to deal with emotions of different kinds and that keeps us alive and learning I guess. I think life is so big and interesting that I just want to keep finding that out. I want to learn from everyone. Every person has something to teach I'm sure.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm traveling right now. I never hosted before, though I want to. Maybe when I go back.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Wonderful so far. It's priceless how some people will enter your life and change something, even if it's giving you an extremely happy moment. Memories are important to every human, I guess. At least they should be. They make a lot of who you are.
What it's precious also is that in most places people make you feel at home. Really.
Interests
Music is my life. I can't play any instrument (I bought an ukulele to learn) but music is in my life all day long.
I love reading, drawing, writing... I always have a small sketchbook with me so I can register anything interesting. A camera has to be with me all the time also, I never get bored with one. I'm not a pro, but I just enjoy it. I also looooove animals. I had cats since I'm a kid and I can ride horses pretty well, but I love every kind of animal really, I get along easy with them.

Music, Movies, and Books
Oh, so many. And something I love about traveling is discovering traditional and local music. It's fantastic. For ex, I fell in love with celtic music when I went to Ireland.
I love reading even in languages I'm not very used to. It can take forever but I like it anyway. Books that changed much in my life were Harry Potter. I grew up reading them, it surely defined lots of my reading habits.
And movies... well, I love a lot. But Mary Poppins could be one of my favorites.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most amazing things I've done in life were my trips. Traveling isn't about taking a picture in front of a touristic monument. I hate when people go somewhere and can't stop complaining about the place and way of behaving. If you don't want to see different, stay at home.
My exchange to Ireland could be the most amazing experience I had. It was simple and magical at its best.
And also my parents are the most amazing ever. I know they are way more opened than many others. That's a privilege for me. They want me to be free, to see the world, be whoever I want to be. We miss each other when I'm far and everything, but they say they are happy If I'm happy.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm not really good at teaching, but lets say I could practice french, english and portuguese with you easily.
I love to learn. Everything, with everyone. Tell me your story and I'll listen with pleasure. Oh, if you can teach me piano, I'll be your fan and best student.
I can share travel experiences, my way of thinking and I don't know, in a conversation there's always sharing moments. I believe we only need to breathe to gain our experiences in life to share with others (that are opened to listen).
