About Me

I am Brazilian, but my place is around the world!
I love traveling and being in touch with nature.
I'm kind of addicted to cleaning and, although I love adventure, I always travel in a very organized way, ensuring all the resources so that I have the minimum comfort necessary and the maximum security possible.

I enjoy meeting new people, but I am very selective to choose my friends. I can't deal with dishonesty, lies and prejudices. I like being in touch with people that inspire me to be a better person.

I'm a Psychologist and I have an MBA in Business Management. I worked in Human Resources for almost 10 years, but I decided to take care of my soul and my spirit by having a sabbatical year. Therefore, I quit my job and since January I'm traveling, volunteering, studying English, meeting people from many different countries and learning a lot from this experience.

I hope I continue meeting amazing people along my journey!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and meeting different places, people and cultures.
I believe that couchsurfing allows learning and sharing experiences.

Interests

Travelling is my true passion!

I like to visit big cities and appreciate modernities, architectures and the nightlife. But what I really love is hiking in trails to get on the top of somewhere with a beautiful landscape or to reach a lake, beach or waterfall.

When I'm at home, I like to play drums and watch some movies and series on Netflix (lazy days).
