CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy the present moment - sharing, learning and simple living

ABOUT ME

I am a passionate traveler, always willing to meet new people and to be on the road for great experiences.
I am very easy to connect with, super laid-back, talkative, friendly and open minded. I am happy when I can be useful to others, so I try to help whenever I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I truly believe in human connection. And besides, it´s way much better when a local person tells you (or show) what´s best to visit, to see, to eat, etc. in the destination you´re heading to, rather than just to follow touristic guides.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted some surfers and have meet a lot of great people also being hosted. I wanna spend quality time with hosts and guests and enjoy more this experience!

"Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights - it is a change that goes on,
deep and permanent, in the ideas of living". Miriam Beard

Teach, Learn, Share

Relationships are the best mirror we can have to show us about ourselves. Being with another person, we learn to listen, instead of talking. And it´s magic when happen. Sometimes you listen, sometimes you talk. Sometimes you teach, sometimes you learn, that is the beauty of life! The important thing is always to be opened!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Besides opening my house, offering a comfortable mattress with clean blankets, pillow and towel, I will for sure welcome you in a brazilian way. I can share with you a homemade vegetarian meal, a coffee or a tea if you prefer, we can talk and share experiences, or you can arrive, eat, shower and rest, depending on your necessity. But it will be really nice to hear from you, to learn something, to exchange.
I can teach you portuguese (songs and dances), brazilian cuisine, and what you wanna know about my culture, we can talk about sustainable living, indigenous people, about nature, about communities, volunteering, about life :).
