Hi everyone,
I'm a scientist by profession, an entrepreneur by nature.
I graduated in Chemistry in 2010 from the University of Sao Paulo (USP) - Brazil and have been working as a traditional employee until 2015, when I incorporated my first company. Now I'm living in Antwerp, Belgium, running my second company - NAFTrading, operating in the Sustainable food market.
Briefly speaking about me, I was born in Sao Paulo - Brazil and I have two brothers - I am the middle. We lived in Sao Paulo until I was 12 years old, when my parents opted to move to a ranch 250 km away and experience a simpler way of life. It worked: from a spoiled young girl I turned into an independent woman that founded an exports company, knows how to handle a hoe, love animals and help in the house.
When I was 17, I moved away from my parents to do high school and then college, when I moved back to Sao Paulo. From that time on, I have worked in Brazil, Argentina and United States, where I lived for almost 3 years in Chicago and Washington DC.
I am very disciplined and organized, as most Virgos. Additionally, I am a very talkative and easygoing coffee & wine lover. Mostly vegetarian, I love to cook and try different recipes from other countries and cultures.
Yeah, I think that's a good resume of myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I do it for experience a non-touristic trip. Meeting locals is always a plus, and It is always good when you can count on someone. Sharing experiences, laughing, cooking together is an amazing feeling. It feels like wining a new family at every stop.
