About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I bought a motorcycle and I'm riding it on my own from Colorado to Montana this summer. It would be very special to be able to meet amazing people along the way!! For sure it would made my experience unforgettable. It will be a big challenge and a once in a life adventure. It will be fun to share my adventure with you.

I'm vaccinated!!

ABOUT ME

A girl who has decided to explore as much as possible. My home is whenever I'm.
I'm passionate about cultures, food, places and people. I love pets, kids and kind humans

I'm super flexible, easy going and respectful of others people space.

Above everything I'm passionate about the unknown. I'm originally from Brazil but I have lived in different countries such as USA, Peru, New Zealand and Australia. Also, in 2013 I spent 6 months traveling with low budget and volunteering as an English teacher to underprivileged children in Asia (Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam). This experience turned into a book published by a crowdfunding campaign and later I produced an independent documentary about it. You can check the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GacTcppbeY
Before I've done different jobs in hospitality, restaurants, bar, teaching, child care...

On my own and also with my boyfriend we have had some awesome experiences doing Work Exchange around the world such as working in a coffee farm in Hawaii and living with a hippie family in Australia. I have just came back from a Work Exchange with an artist in Mexico and with an amazing couple in Guatemala. It blows my mind how generous people can be!

I used to have NYC as my base for a while. Now I'm up in the mountains in Colorado. I love to be in a big city as much as I do to be in remote areas close to nature.

PHILOSOPHY

Be happy. Be kind. Experience life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a great first experience at CS with Paul!!! He spent few days with me and my friends having fun around my city. It was back in 2009 when was in college and loved partying. I definitely got older and not much into partying anymore.

After that I was very lucky to have Mariuz hosting me at his house in Thailand in 2013.

Last year me and Philipe had a couple of great CS experiences while driving from New York to Quebec City and also on our road trip from Colorado to California.

I'm always surprised by the amazing people I get to know on CS!!
