Brazilian lawyer who was tired with your profession and decided to run for your old dreams. After living two years as a volunteer in a school for teenagers with special needs and learning disabilities in England's countryside I am doing my Master degree in Development Studies, Major Human Rights, Gender and Conflict Studies: Social Justice Perspectives in The Hague.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love to meet new people and I am really good in build friendships.

I always remember my trips thinking about the moments and the people I've met in the middle of the journey. And it's so incredible when you see these people again in an other place and that 'travel friend' is really a friend that I'll take on my way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After beeing a lawyer for 10 years and reached that place that people understand as success, I realized that I wasn't happy with my professional life and needed to do something about it!

So I applied to be a volunteer in a Camphill Community, who manages an school for teenagers with special needs and learning disabilities.

There I've learned about myself and the others as I've never could imagine! Discovering a new profession, new hobbies and abilities that I've never thought before. After one year of this experience I've become the new baker of the community! hahaha It was a huge challenge and it was amazing!

Now I move one to my next step: I'm studying a Master in Development Studies, Major Human Rights, Gender and Conflict Studies: Social Justice Perspectives in The Hague, The Netherlands.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to dance and can try to teach how to dance some Brazilian rhythms, like samba and forró.

I'm also good in house tasks and cooking!

I can try to teach you basic sentences in Portuguese ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

In addition to my dancer/housewife/cook skills, I'm really good in sharing a bottle of wine, some pints of beer, good and long chats with really good laughts!
