I love travelling, languages and my family.
I moved from Brazil to England when I was 18. Now I live in Chepstow, a lovely town right on the border between Wales and England.
I am happily married, no children, working hard as a secondary school teacher of Spanish and French.
I am Christian and enjoy learning about the mysteries of the universe through religion and science.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of getting know local people and seeing their perspective on a place. I also like hosting people in my home.

Teach, Learn, Share

"Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. I have found that it is the small every-day deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love." Gandalf (Tolkien)

"Be the change that you want to see in the world." Ghandi

I try to make society better by being the best person I can be and by treating others the way I would like to be treated.
