ABOUT ME

I love discovering new cultures and new places and I think traveling is the best experience of life.
One of the mean things about me is that I use to talk a lot, about everything, and I love meeting people of different places. I love to spend my free time with friends in bars, night clubs or just having a beer at home. I´m always ready to new experiences and to have fun.

I was born in Salvador and lived there for 18 years, until start in the university, when I've moved to São Paulo. Salvador is a magic city, full of energy, music and African culture. Despite the white skin, I feel I have African blood. That is probably the reason why I love samba and all types of music with strong percussion so much. I'm also a fan of Brazilian music and I love to listen Bossa Nova.

I've graduated in advertising at Universidade de São Paulo and after work in some advertising angecies in Brazil and in a night club in Spain, now I'm working for Procter and Gamble. Moved to Miami last September for a 2 years assignment after around 4 years working in the São Paulo office.

I did one year of exchange in Madrid, when I met some of the best friends I've ever known. Spain is my second country (I use to say that my heart is spanish) and I love the people, the weather and the food of this piece of paradise where the sun is always shining.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy the life.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I've surfed and hosted sometimes, I used to participate in some CS meetings in São Paulo and I've joined a one-day trip to a city near to São Paulo with the CS local group.
