Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travel the world. Meet great people. Seize every opportunity. Help people whenever I can. Live life to the fullest.
ABOUT ME
I'm a Social Work grad student living in Rio de Janeiro since 2015. I'm an intern at a Social Security office and on the weekends I volunteer as an English teacher in a NGO. I'm a vegetarian and have an obsession with elephants. I'm returning to the Couchsurfing world although I've never surfed nor hosted before. I hope to meet new people and explore this place thoroughly!
I'm very easygoing, enthusiastic about the world and I love a good laugh!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I hope to spand my frontiers/horizon, share experiences and meet people from different cultures by engaging in the Couchsurfing comunity.
Interests
I love traveling, going to the beach and being in the sun. I also love cold weather, a good book and some hot chocolate haha. I adore my family and spending time with them. I like walking to places and being outdoors. I love movies, music and dancing, hanging out with friends and sharing a good laugh.

Music, Movies, and Books
When it comes to music I can listen to (almost) everything, R&B and Rap are probably my favorite. I can't name a favorite movie (there are so many!) but I can say I'm a fan of Drama and Documentaries. I'm obsessed with Chimamanda Adichie and right now I'm reading everything I can involving my graduate thesis.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Being a part of a life changing educational project as a volunteer in a NGO is definitely a highlight in my life. Going on an interchange program in Frankfurt and living with a German host family was also very important to me.
Teach, Learn, Share
I like learning about other people's experiences not only in traveling but in their lives, everyone has an interesting story to share.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'd be glad to share some brazilian dessert recipes (like brigadeiro and pudim de leite) and bring them some sweets and souvenirs from Rio!
