About Me

Hi there :)
-- I am constantly amazed by the simplicity of kindness, the miracle of making new interesting friends, and the beauty of a smile.
-- I'm very open-minded, outgoing, friendly, gay, spiritual devoted and very active person. I'd rather have experiences than material things. I
believe in karma, in a healthy body, mind, and spirit.
-- I enjoy travelling and meeting people of diverse backgrounds that can challenge my opinions and in the process broaden my perspectives.
-- Nature lover, lover of blues (I play Harmonica!) & Indie and Sports!
-- I really want to get to know you and things about your culture and personal history
-- If you want to know a cool girl, do not hesitate to send me a message or host me in somewhere :D
-- I was a member of the NGO CISV, http://www.cisv.org

My Philosophy is: do as to others as you would like them to do to you. Treat people fairly and with respect. We attract what we think about and reflect, this is magnetic law of attraction! Everyday is a new day, positive perspective, I enjoy adventure and new experiences, but find pleasure in the little things too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hosting whenever I can, surfing whenever you want :D

Meeting interesting people from everywhere, discorvering new places , new cultures, new different opinions and point of views. Everything is connection!

I made a long backpacking trip in Europe and I was hosted several times by Couchsurfers. Now it is the time to pay it back and start hosting as well.
Also, I always received people form around the world (and have been hosted in the house of people I didnt knew before), throughout CISV (www.cisv.org)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-- Got a ride on the highway with truckers in Chile during my backpacking there.

-- Also I have already worked for an NGO called "Um teto para meu pais" which promotes house building in very very poor communities in Brazilian Favelas.

Teach, Learn, Share

- It ll be a pleasure teach and share with you a slackline experience in a park!

- I love to teach people how to get the most out of the city easily and cheaply .
- I love to share my knowledge of the city, my travels and introduce some of my friends.
- I can teach you lovely Brazilian Portuguese, thats for sure!
- I can Play Harmonica for you (:

I want to learn as much as possible from other cultures and peoples individual experiences in travel and life. I would like to learn more about gay life in other cultures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

For my hosts, I offer my smile, my genuine sense of friendship, my stories and experiences and a great time!I offer my cooking (I`m not really good but i ll try do my best), I offer a glimpse of my culture and a good and intelligent conversation.
