About Me

hi, hope you are doing well. let me present myself and a little bit of my story. after a long trip {that you can read about in below} i went back to brazil and since then i moved to rio de janeiro and worked there for 2 years. in the begining of 2019 i went to são paulo countryside to spend some time recovering of the frenetic energy from rio & start to dedicate myself to write again. in the end of 2019 i came to spend some time in my hometown, now, im going to an art residency in tinos, greek island. i would love to re-meet my friends from this side of the world and travel around a little getting to know new friends after all.

after the residency in greece and this little trip around, im moving to sao paulo's coast & then i will FINALLY can receive travelers and host then and see the other side of this coin.

i am vegan, i love to cook. i always can cook for everyone, and its not a joke!
i can help you to clean up your place and organize your stuff, if you want.
i am very open mind and respect everyone always, so i hope you do the same.
i love to read and read to others, i love to show my favorite videos and get know your visual references.
hope we match!

I traveld around Europe for 6 months in 2016. I started the trip with my friend Luciana. The first 3 months we traveled for Italy, France, Spain, Croatia and Montenegro. Then, we went back to Madrid, to meet another friend, Stella. So, since October, we 3 are traveling together. We passed by France, Germany, Italy, Romania, London and Portugal. In the begining of January of 2017, we took a flight back to Brazil, but not to our city. We went to the north: Recife, Chapada Diamantina and Salvador. Then... we went back home, after all this months and hickhikings around europe and north of brazil.

Im an artist. I studied dramatic art in the university. I write and I make videos. I have a performance and musical group, called Pelvyca. Luciana is part of this group. She's also an actress and singer and writer. We wrote a book about this trip. We have more than 3 journals that we wrote during this journey and we really want to share our story with other women that want to travel by themselves.

This profile is new. During those first 6 months that we were traveling, we were using Luciana's CS profile, and we had a lot of amazing experiences with a lot of incredible people. But now, we decided to do little trips separeted in Portugal, thats why i created my profile.

PS ::

We are doing this trip REALLY LOW COST. We are traveling by hickhiking and staying in CS ! We love to know the parts of the cities that are not so turistic and we prefer to do our visit in the places not in a touristic way. We wanna know the people who live in the place and their lifestyle. We believe that NOBODY DESERVES ANYTHING TO ANYONE. We dont think that CS is about free beds or free hostels. We dont want you to change your routine because of us. We can sleep in your floor, by the way. We are VERY RESPECTFULL and OPENMIND and we prefer to stay with people in the same way. We would love to hang out with everybody, but, unfortunatly, we don't have money. We like to be free to go out with or without the hosts. We respect other's people space, so, PLEASE, respect our. We LOVE to talk, and have long travel conversations and about how people live. We love art and animals. WE ARE VEGANS. We love to cook! We always can cook for everybody.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to know how do people live their lifes in the other countries. I love to share the things that i learn and i love to lear what people want to teach me. I'm really easygoing and respectful front at diferences. Hope everyone can respects everyone.
I do believe that things shouldn't be all about price tags and seeling, but about exchanges, interchange, reciprocation. I do believe in choices to make better the people lives, to improve their day by day. Or life in comunities. Bio building organic food saving water shring with people.
When i go back to my city, i will have a new apartment and i'm so excited to host people to get knowthe feeling of to be in the other side, you know? Like, i've been always the surfer so i want to experience both sides.
