About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current and constant mission is become a better person capable to promote a intern reformation through the charity and knowledge.

ABOUT ME

Instead of answer what my friends think about me when appeared the question to me I asked them.
"A transparent girl, that always thinks in a set, with a lot of skills and determined" by Flavia Morando - Sao Paulo, Brazil; "Confident girl with lots of skills and praiseworthy personality"by Jawad Saleem - Lahore, Pakistan. "A person that animates whatever environment with hers positive energy" by Bruno Nazário - Ouro Preto, Brazil.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm really open to share and get knowledge about everything. I cannot say that I disagree with something if I don't have enough understanding about determined theme, however what utterly grabs my attention are the spiritual issues concerning the science evolution and God, for instance the power of the thoughts and Quantum physics. I'm not an expert on that field but it gave to me a new vision about life and I could connect it with a lot of own findings in a infinite route searching my role as a equal part of the universe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been hosting and being hosted in many different places since 2011

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2012 I traveled during 9 days to Czech Republic, Vienna and Budapest and that was the first time I requested couch. Fortunately I found hosts everywhere and they were all really cute with me. I loved this experience and I'd continued doing it. After that I stayed in a couch in München, Zürich, Ulm and Sttutgart, when I finally came back to my home country!In my home city I hosted two french guys, and in the city where I live to study I've already hosted a german and a french guys.
In 2017 I was hosted in Santa Marta, Colombia and I had a great time with my host Camilo :)
In 2018 I travelled to Mato Grosso do Sul do celebrate mybirthday and I had an incredible unplanned trip with the couchsurfer Israel.

Interests

I absolutely love to travel and get in touch with different sorts of culture, habits and history that are always somehow intrinsically connected with architecture. All of them contribute to the understanding of world's changing processes what doesn't mean that I discard the natural beauty, cause it really fascinates myself. I'm quite interested on parametric design (still have a little understanding about Grasshopper and VB scripting, starting now with processing) and new methods of producing contemporary, organic and optimized architecture.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all sort of films and books about true histories, science,spirutuality, symbolism and architecture, for instance: "What the Bleep do we know?", "My lifes with Shirley MacLaine", "Chariots of the Gods?".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can say that the first city I've been outside my country (Weimar, Germany) with its classicist style and parks (mainly the "Ilm" and a specific and "simple" tree there that made me cry), the first castles I've seen in Germany ( Wartburg,Eisenach - Belvedere Schloss, Weimar - Friedstein, Gotha) although they were not the most beatiful ones, a house of a famous and important designer and architect designed by himself that I've studied before in my home university in Brazil (Haus Hohe Pappeln by Henry Van de Velde) and I just stumbled on it in the walking way to a castle, the first big medieval church (Mariedom, Erfurt), when I just stumbled on the Moulin Rouge in Paris, walking around the hostel I was hosted really made me fell awestruck. After see many things on the world I cannot have the feeling that I used to have before, like "I want to stay here forever" because there will be always another impressive places that will give me this feeling of "possession" again. It also made me change my thoughts about the diverse places. The world is our and we don't need receive some title as owner of it because there is no needing for me of having (stay, live, visit) just one determined place while I can be anywhere.
