About Me

CURRENT MISSION

India! Maldives! Fernando de Noronha! Next three spots on my wish list.

ABOUT ME

Well. I am a very talkative, friendly and outgoing person. I make friends easily and keep them forever. I love reading, writing, traveling (I have traveled through all over Brazil and quite a bit in Europe as well), cooking (and eating!), partying, and yes, working hard! I have just moved to the gorgeous little city of Horsens and am starting to adapt myself to this new country called Denmark!

PHILOSOPHY

What goes around comes around. If you want to be happy start by making others happy and happiness will find you. Follow your dreams, enjoy life and go at your own pace.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In Brazil...Picking CS up at the airport, showing them around the city, taking them to the BEST samba club in Fortaleza, introducing them to new ppl, practicing Portuguese with them, explaining the Brazilian culture, getting them in touch with other contacts and ppl who may be of help in all of Brazil - and every here and there hosting them at my home as well! :D
Now in Denmark...I am still trying to figure that out ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far 99% of my experiences have been great and made me all the more excited, thrilled and wanting to participate as much as possible! I've CS a few times when traveling around Europe plus received many CS's over both to my place as by showing them the city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I guess you could say I did many really cool things throughout my life. For starters I've traveled all over Brazil with my family (when I was young) and alone (when I grew older) and have friends pretty much in every state. I was also home-schooled which is something totally unheard of in Brazil.
Backpacking in Europe for 2 1/2 months and then after living for four months in Denmark have been some of my best experiences.
