About Me

Brazilian living in Canada. I'm passionate about traveling and travel as often as I can. I was told I am outgoing, open-minded and fun to be with, so I guess that must be true! I graduated from university with a bachelor's in Computer Science and after working for approximately 2 years, I decided to put a hold on my career and travel to Europe, where I stayed for 2 years before returning to Canada.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love learning and experiencing new things. I'm on Couchsurfing to meet new people, new cultures and experience the world.

I also think that hanging out with locals is one of the best ways to travel the world and learn local habits and culture. And it's also super fun.

Interests

Meeting new people, making friends and having fun is what travel is all about. Social drinking also goes a long way!

I also love cooking and eating, and, in my opinion, it's one of the most important aspects of traveling. I enjoy trying new food and learning how to make them.

Exercising, especially when traveling long-term, is extremely important. I try to stay fit as much as I can.

I enjoy sharing travel stories, playing games, technology, watching movies and tv shows and dancing.
