I live in a small town in the southern state in Brazil with my 5-year-old son. Ever since I was very young I remember having this dream of traveling the world. I managed to do some traveling, then I had my child and decided to dedicate more time for him. Now, that he has grown a little, I am able to focus on my dream again. I will be traveling alone while he can be spoiled by my parents for a while! :)

Well, when I meet people, I am usually shy at first, but after some conversation, I relax. I enjoy learning about different cultures and I love listening to all kinds of languages, even when I do not understand a word.

The world fascinates me. I think there is so much to explore. I have so much to learn and I am grateful life has given me opportunities for that.

I still believe in humans, in their power to be honest and gentle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I believe in exchanging, in learning from other people.
Humans are so diverse and we have so much to learn from one another... specially how to be a better person.

Interests

I love photography, taking photos, going to exhibitions, learning about it.

Watching movies, listening to music, drinking some beer or wine over a great conversation and laughter - my favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think being alive is amazing. Amazing is complex because it depends on our point of view. Having a child, for instance, is pretty amazing, but I am sure this is not what the website expects me to write.

I've had my share of camping and I think it is pretty amazing.
I lived in the USA for 10 months working as an au pair and got to travel to many places there. It was a great experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

All the time!
Learn more than teach.
