Hello, I'm Amanda, nice to meet you!
I'm from São Paulo, but I live in Rio de Janeiro since 2018. I consider CS as a great opportunity to have a better cultural exchange meeting people 🌎

I'm starting a new adventure and I hope to meet nice people during my journey 🌈

I consider myself a simple person, I like A LOT of things, meet new places and people, talk about different things, listen, and learn with people. Even being a little bit shy, I'm very friendly, respectful and empathetic, after "break the ice", we can talk about everything. 😃

I like to dance (randomly, even not being a good dancer, frequently I just dance in my mind) 🕺🏻, I also like to read 📖, travel 🚎, exercise or just relax and practice meditation 🧎🏻‍♀️, go to the theater, musicals and cultural stuff, handmade ceramics and crafts, pets (specially cats 😸), listen people's experiences and things that I don't know yet 🥸.

I love to eat and share food! Maybe we can learn/cook a recipe together, or share secret ingredients :)
I like to taste new flavors (especially desserts 🍰). I try to maintain a vegetarian diet, so I usually do not eat meat (not even fish or chicken), and I will always prefer vegetarian or vegan dishes. 🍝

I work during the week so I usually stay at home most part of the day and enjoy my free time at weekends. 👩🏻‍💻
I also travel frequently because of my jobs, that's why I'm not able to receive people as much as they want. 🤧
In my house I'm used to receive my family and friends. I don't have a lot of space, so we use an air matress, and everything goes well in the end 😊

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my dreams is to know new places around the world, meet new people, cultures, lifestyles, and also challenge myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

Tim Burton's Movies, Cartoon Network old titles, anime (even not watching them too much now), stop-motion.

I don't have a favorite kind of movie or book. I like to try new titles. Reading the synopsis and new titles I liked a lot of books or movies that have nothing in common between them.

I listen more Brazilian songs (like MPB) or english songs, but I'd love to know and listen to your music too!

Teach, Learn, Share

For my hosts or guests, I can cook something, share recipes or learn them. 🍴
- Share good humor, smiles and random topics to talk about (or only have quiet moments) 😊
- Try to teach some Portuguese words or expressions 💬

If I have time I can go with you to meet new places and discover the city and restaurants. If you like it, we can go to the beach 🏖️
