ABOUT ME

I graduated in Business Administration and I am a Chartered Accountant (not a boring one). I've always been very active in life. I love and play a variety of sports (volleyball, handball, tennis, table tennis, squash, etc), I've already been part of a dance crew in Brazil for 2 years in my high school years, I've taught English to children, teenagers and adults in Brazil, tutored Spanish and French, and trained business professionals in South Korea.
My friends and colleagues would describe me as a positive, adventurous and well-rounded person.

PASSION: I found my passion in 2012: travelling. Since then, most of my efforts are devoted towards my travel plans, and I hope I'm able to explore the whole world before I'm gone! My long-term vision is to live a life I will not regret when I am 50, 60, 70, 80 years-old...

HOBBIES: besides travel, I love:
- dancing (super into salsa and bachata)
- learning new languages
- health & fitness - hiking, running, anything that moves your body!
- adventure
- EATING!

PHILOSOPHY: "To live a life I will not regret when I'm older"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in Paris (2012) and Montevideo (2013) and became more of an active surfer on my Scandinavia trip in 2015 (some cities in Norway, Sweden and Denmark) and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED it! :)

Haven't hosted anyone yet, but hope to do this in the near future when I have my own place.

Interests

Learning and experiencing new things are my passion. I love sports, dancing, learning new languages and cultures, and traveling! I want to travel everywhere and explore the world - I love meeting new people from different cultures and backgrounds, learning their traditions, points of view and their language.
