About Me

I'm in a journey to know more about the world and myself. I'm passionate about how cultures can be different and similar in some ways.
I'm currently living in Sydney and looking forward to know more this beautiful country!
One of the best experiences I had in life was my Erasmus exchange program in Portugal. By the way Porto is an amazing city. Highly recommended! I also lived in Canada for couple months. Beautiful country with a lot of diversity! People are really kind and welcoming!
One year ago I backpacked for 4 months in Latin America: Colombia, Mexico and Cuba! It was fascinating to explore more my Latin identity, while meeting great people on the way! It was also when I did a lot of couchsurfing and had the pleasure to be always really well received.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is a great opportunity to meet new people, really immerse in a culture while travelling and share great experiences!

Interests

I love to dance, read, watch movies, be in contact with nature and hang around with friends, even better if there is some music involved. Try local food is a must when I travel!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: anything that touches my heart or that I can dance. Brazilian popular music is my favourite.
Movies and books: romance, drama and crime, specially if there is a historical background. LOTR, Agatha Christie, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Isabel Allende, Jorge Amado
Series: La Casa de Papel, Mad Men, Downton Abbey, Spartacus (I haven't watched GOT yet, but I'm sure I'll be addicted when I do it)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking in Chile, Bolivia and Peru (breathtaking landscapes!!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love dancing! I could teach you how to dance Forro and samba (two Brazilian rhythms) and I would love to learn others (salsa, tango...)

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Belgium, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Denmark, England, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Peru, Portugal, Spain, United Kingdom
