About Me

At first I can be a little shy, but I'll quickly become very talkative, sociable and extroverted with people, especially if I feel comfortable with the environment and everyone around me. I'm the type of person who likes to share the moment with others and most of the time I'm playful and a little silly.

But I also enjoy having a quiet lonely time sometimes and I respect people who wants to keep to themselves.

I'm boring when I have to write about myself, I'm much better in person or answering questions, hahahaha!

*I'm vegetarian.
*I don't usually drink alcohol because I don't like the taste.
*I also don’t like the taste of coffee but love the smell of it.
*I don't smoke.
*I'm seriously addicted to chocolate. I can eat 1kg per day.
*I love ice cream way to much and can't never get enough.
*Matcha (all green tea) is life.

I've been backpacking since January 2023, but a little before beginning my journey, I sold all I had and moved to my sister's house to save money for the trip. She agreed to host surfers for me while I'm away because she also likes to meet people and help the way she can. So you'll be hosted by my sister for now, she is a better version of me, so if you liked my profile, you'll love staying with her.

She speaks fluent Spanish and a Intermediate English that became a bit rusty due lack of practice. She lived in Chile for two years and now travels when have the chance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on couchsurfing for the same reason I volunteer when I travel solo. I like having company and I want to meet beautiful souls and listen to their stories, learn their different ways of living and thinking...

I want to see the world from someone else's perspective and learn more about their country and culture.

I believe we all grow when we share our experience, ideas, point of view and culture. On top of that we get to make new friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's not amazing, but a little bizarre. In Cancun, Mexico, I swam with baby sharks. It was a little scary, hahahaha!

Amazing is that I can really eat 1kg of chocolate per day, that's pretty normal for me. I'm seriously addicted since a was a child.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach yoga and meditation!
I can learn everything my clumsy brain can remember.
I can share music from Brazil and funny stories about my talent to forget things and to get lost even with Google maps guiding me, hahahaha!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a private bedroom with double bed available for guests on the second floor. On the first floor there is a large kitchen that you can use, but when you finish, leave everything clean and organized.
When my family or friends are not visiting me, the room is free to be occupied by surfers.
