Since I was a child, I had a dream to travel to another country in exchange, to learn about other cultures and improve some language. Today, I am realizing this dream, living in Ireland.

I graduated in International Relations in a university from Belo Horizonte (state of Minas Gerais, Brazil). The course further sharpened the will to run the world and now I realize that it may be possible for me.

I'm a friend and warm-hearted person. Really easy-going. I believe in people and that we can indeed make a better world with little actions (just try and do your best without expecting anything in return). Sometimes, a simple "Good morning" or a hug can change someone's day.

Living with other cultures, religions, motivated and motivating people has become my main goal. I am open minded and would like to experience new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was introduced to Couchsurfing by a friend who lived wonderful experiences staying in different countries and then getting people in his own home, in Brazil.

I found an amazing idea and that's what I intend to live now. I want to get along with people and want to receive them in my house. I want to show my city, help with the trip in Brazil and make them feel at home (a nice family of Minas Gerais) =)

Interests

I am interested in learning new languages, new cultures, new religions... Always sharing experiences and growing every minute.

• running
• traveling
• international relations
• languages
• religion

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a very varied taste in movies, music and books. I try not to hold on to just one genre. I believe that everything can have something good (or bad) to offer, I just need to try.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing experience I have lived is my exchange. It wasn't easy to leave my house for a whole new world, but in no time I regretted having left it in search of my dreams.

Every day I'm surprised with everything I have learned about myself and about other people with whom I share experiences. The beginning of my exchange was not easy and sometimes I found myself thinking about going home... but behind all problems had a greater dream, motivating me to move on. Now I'm here, not just trying to keep my exchange such as traveling the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

"If you have something interesting to talk to me, please talk. If you have something interesting to teach me, please teach me" =)
I love learning all the time about different things.

I like to teach Portuguese as well. I am very happy when I see people interested in learning my language, just as I have interest in learning theirs.

Share cultures and experiences, this is the point.
