About Me

Brazilian girl living in Portugal. I want to meet new people around the world, what I believe is always an unique experience. Since I moved to Portugal I’ve been traveling as much as I can, and so far I met a lot of people who made my life more colorful. I love museums, books, parks, and so on. Also, I am a psychologist and I really love what I do!

We don’t know how much time we have, not only to live, but also to stay with people we love, meet new ones and do whatever we really want or need to do. So far as I know, you could live more 100 years and, if you don’t take the risk and do something that make you feel alive, that wouldn’t matter that much. So maybe what really matters is how we live, is sometimes doing ordinary things indeed, but sometimes taking the real chances. Feeling alive could be travel the whole world or paraglide, but also could be simply sipping coffee in the morning in your favorite sofa. There are no rules for that. Possibly, could be all of that and much more, or something completely different, depending on the person and on the moment. What makes you feel like life is worth living?

Obs: just to clarify, I don’t have a lot of reviews because I started to really use couchsurfing last year. You can always ask me anything that you cannot find in my profile. I am really easygoing and I will be happy to help you with anything as spend as much time with you as you want/can offer me. I spent the last years traveling a lot around Europe and I mostly went for hostels and some Erasmus+, but nowadays I discovered couchsurfing to give this kind of travel experience you maybe won’t have traveling by yourself. If I’m asking you to host me, I don’t pretend to have simply free accommodation. I’m ok about paying an hostel anytime I need to travel by myself. I won’t expect you to be with me all the time, but I hope we can share some nice memories ☺️☺️☺️

I am currently on my way to move out from Portugal so its been hard to host people atm. Soon I am looking forward to host you guys in UK!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet people and have amazing experiences abroad. I believe couchsurfing is a very great way to know locals and connect to different persons and cultures, and visit a city in some ways you will not as a tourist. Couchsurfing is about sharing, I think. Honestly, I have a lot of experience as a tourist and you are almost never able to fully understand and appreciate one city if you don’t connect with people who live there.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot of different kind of things, but I normally prefer dystopian books. Some of my favorites authors are Neal Shusterman, Emily Rodda and Licia Troisi. My favorite adolescence book was the Italian trilogy Chronicles of Emerged World. But I also read a lot of different things (from classical to mainstream to under recognized titles) and you probably will have references in common with me if you like to read!

I don’t watch a lot of movies and series, but if I do it uses to be something thoughtful

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swim to an island in Brazil (from the coast), and swim next to one ray and to some turtles on the way.

Move from Brazil to Portugal to study. I have been traveled to almost half Europe so far, almost all by myself (met incredible people in the way!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about my culture, my work field, and a lot of interest I have. I love philosophical and entertaining conversations and I hope we can talk about a lot of things that make you feel comfortable or make us think. If you want to learn a little bit of Portuguese count on me.

I want to learn about new languages, new cultures, meet new people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Big smiles, lot of conversations, help with dishes and cleaning, culinary and so on
