I started traveling before I was even born, like so many in the Minho region, my parents were immigrants in Brazil. It wasn't enough being born on the other side of the Atlantic, in such a lively place like Rio de Janeiro, I was then brought up in Viana do Castelo, where culture can get very deep into our skin...and heart. All of this wasn't enough and I had to try Erasmus in Poland, work in the UK, and travel all over the world, counting over 25 countries.

Iam a bubbly person and was fortunate enough to make friends in several places where I've been, and even luckier that they choose to visited me afterwards.

Iam so in love with my country's culture and I take such pleasure in sharing it with others, that I quitted my Economist career to become a private tour guide. That's how passionate Iam about it!

You might be wondering so let me quiet your curiosity already. In my profile picture I am wearing a folk wedding dress. I would be happy to share my knowledge on traditional customs. We can do this over a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, you choose!

Happily married, with a very furry home composed by 3 cats and one dog, gardener on my free time, traveller by addiction and a friend for life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and meet new cultures and new people. I made many friendships over the years and throughout the world too. I find CS philosophy very interesting to continue this purpose.
