I was raised in Brazil in an Italian descent house. While for lunch we were having rice and beans (typically Brazilian), for dinner we would have homemade pasta. And when I say homemade I mean even the dough. I might not speak Italian, but I'm very good when I swear in this language.

Recently I'm living in Italy, in Milan. I work in an advertising agency during the day as a copywriter. And I love it!! Though my boyfriend is a little far, in Paris, we still talk every day on the phone in French, of course.

I used to live with him in France. During this time I learned how to speak French and how to adapt to an entirely different culture. It's complicated, but after a few steps, the French were lovely.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me the most fascinating thing about traveling is meeting people, to learn about a new culture and to feel touched by this new reality.

Music, Movies, and Books

I was raised loving The Wizard of Oz and Mary Poppins. All the musics and the story. Nowadays I adore musicals as well. Later I became addicted to Harry Potter and its fan culture. At the same time I was enjoying a lot to watch many animes.

Lately, I keep my childish taste but I added some more authors as Milan Kundera's, Agatha Christie's, some science fiction and also the feminist books.
