Born and raised in Curitiba, Brazil, I am an only child but with many heart brothers and sisters. I am a student of Organizational Communication at the Federal Technological University of Paraná and I reconciled hours in college and internship. My plan of life until last year was to finish my course and get deep into the job market. But with the help of a friend I began to think about postponing the plans of a frantic life for work and success, and I thought of looking for another side of things.

So at the age of 21 I decided to venture into the world. About to enter the final year of the course, I decided to enroll for the university's exchange program. Result? On September 11, 2018 I started my journey here in Faro, Portugal, seeking to find new experiences and challenges.

So far I can say that I have met many people from different parts of the world, I have found that the most spoken language is kindness, concludes that there are many more things that I want to discover on this trip and most importantly, I am redefining life goals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As this is my first time visiting other countries I would like to have direct contact with the culture and the people who live in each place. Of course, being a student and not being employed also helps a little ... But the idea of this journey from the beginning is to do new things, meet people, their stories and everything I can.

Music, Movies, and Books

Saying my favorite song is a bit difficult because I'm influenced by humor and what's going on in my life. But I can say that the playlist of Spotify that I listen to most lately is Retrovisor (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DXcHp8s7jfJ6Q).

My favorite movies are very diverse because I can not pick just one. But on the list are Fight Club, Interstellar, Mona Lisa Smile and the Marvel's movies (yes, I ove heroes).

My favorite books are The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (all the 5 books) and Bird Box.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Make this trip, because in it I had a lot of "first time" in my life and moreover alone. Traveling by plane, going to another country, getting here alone and living it all. But the most amazing thing is the incredible people I met who made this trip even better.

What I Can Share with Hosts

First of all I must say that unfortunately I am not a good cook to introduce you to the Brazilian cuisine (but the famous Brigadeiro I know how to do!!!). But I am willing to share knowledge that I have inside Brazilian culture, the area of communication, funny stories and if you want even the beautiful (and a little complicated) Portuguese.
