About Me

People often describe me in 3 words: brightness ✨, optimism 🌝 and openness 🌈.

I’m one of those who loves being present. As well as I love meeting new people and connecting to distinct realities. By doing so I’m very into visiting people, talking a lot, sharing meals and moments. Rather we hangout at home or outside. I am thrilled to adapt other’s routines - even though I’m ok in exploring new places all by myself.

Due the diversity of groups I’m in, I’ve attached empathy at my core DNA. My manifesto is connected with community building in sustainable ways. Then, I am committed to education ✏️, social rights 💁🏾‍♀️, sustainability 🌱 and urban mobility 🚴🏽‍♂️.

Professionally, I’m a Bachelor Graphic Designer. Back in University, I’ve transitioned between commercial and artistic fields. I’ve worked on both communication and travel agencies - despite an English teaching working experience.

Finally, I’m moved by love 💛. And strongly hope I could share it with you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

By May 2019 I decided moving into a purpose driven life shift. After traveling throughout Canada, US and Chile, opened my journey to projects that fit my manifesto. Couchsurfing had a special role in this journey - as I've connected (and still willing to connect) with fantastic open-minded people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m a very fan of any kind of music. I’m moved to the beat and I’m always listening to songs.
Check out some of my favorites picks:

🇧🇷 Silva, Liniker, Tiago Iorc, Maria Bethânia, Elza Soares, Gal Costa, Duda Beat, Pabllo Vittar, Alok, Gonzaguinha, Sandy, Ivete Sangalo.

🌎 Beyoncé, Marshmallow, Alan Walker, The Lumineers, Hozier, Florence and the Machine, Coldplay, Bastille, Lady Gaga, Pink Floyd, Sam Smith, Clean Bandit, Of Monster and Men, Shakira, Maluma.

Unfortunately, my filmography is badly composed. I haven’t watched many films or tv shows recently - not even GOT, I’m very sorry 🥺 The last show I’ve binge watched was “Queer Eye” 🌈 However, I love Pixar’s movies ❤️ as well as I love TED talks 📚

My reading list, though, is very related to design, social studies, philosophy, urban planning, architecture and education books. I also love spirituality and biography’s books. My favorite pick might be Shea’s “Design for social change”.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Accomplished most of the things I aspired for life. Supported by my family and friends, I’ve graduated from University; lived abroad; inspired people with my projects - on both design and teaching careers. Then, I am proud of who I’ve become :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m willing to learn about your way of living. I’m very interested in your causes, community engagement, researches, cooking tips and good stories. Also, if you have any French or Spanish skills I would be glad in rehearsing it together :)
