About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Sharing, learning, exchanging life experiences

ABOUT ME

Meeting new people and travelling is something that really made me grow up, learn, open my mind and understand more about the others and myself.

I started travelling more frequently during college, especially because of some architecture students meetings around Brazil that I've been to. That suddenly became my passion!

And that's why I organized one of those meetings, here in Florianópolis, to aroud 2.000 students, cause I wanted to give them the same oportunity I had.

So here I am, being part of CS, wanting to learn even more about worldwide culture and help travelers to do the same!

Hoy yo soy una persona mas madura y con la miente mas abierta por todos los viajes que hice y todas las personas maravillosas que conocí en mi camino.
Empecé a viajar con mas frecuencia en la universidad, donde tuve la oportunidad de irme a varios encuentros de estudiantes de arquitectura en Brasil y Sudamérica. De pronto los viajes y los encuentros se han convertido en mi pasión!
Por eso organicé uno de estos eventos en mi ciudad, Florianópolis, para 2000 estudiantes. Yo quería darles la misma oportunidad que tuve.
Y aquí estoy, parte del CS, siempre buscando conocer más de la cultura mundial y ayudar los viajeros a hacer lo mismo!

PHILOSOPHY

It doesn't matter what you do or where you are, the most important thing in life are the people you meet on your way...Even if you spend 5 min with someone you'll never see again, it can totally change your day! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Brazilians are known as a very welcoming people, and that's just how I like to be!

Los Brasileños son conocidos por ser un pueblo muy hospitalero, y es así que me gusta ser!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was at a CS meeting. It was great! Not only met some great people, but also found out that CS can be a way to meet people from your own city as well as hosting and surfing!

Last year I finally decided to surf around South America, and te swetest people hosted me! I hope to be able to host others very soon...

Mi primera experiencia fué en una reunión del CS. Fué buenísimo! Conocí mucha gente y también descubri que CS es un medio para conocer gente de tu propia ciudad, y no solamente viajeros!
El año pasado finalmente decidí por viajar por Sudamerica con CS, y personas maravillosas me hospedaran. Espero poder acoger otras personas muy pronto!

Interests

books, a way of travelling without moving
cooking, I'm always looking forward to try some new dishes!
Dancing is also one of my passions, I realy enjoy the brasilian rythms Samba and Forró, and love the Salsa!

Ah, los libros! Me gusta mucho leer, pues es un medio de viajar sin salir de tu lugar.
Cocinar es algo que amo (y comer, claro!), siempre quiero probar nuevo sabores...
Danzar es otra de mis pasiones, me gusta mucho los ritmos brasileños (samba, forró) y la salsa! Una lástima que sea tan difícil encontrar local para bailar salsa en Brasil!

Music, Movies, and Books

Love books and movies that are inspired by real facts. These are like a history lesson, but much better. An also something that inspire me to travel...

Some of my favorite writers are Erico Verissimo, Mario Vargas Llosa, Umberto Eco, Gabriel García Marquez, José Saramago... and the list goes on!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sunset at the sea, while I was at a mountain 4000m high. Sublime!

As I said, I love cooking, and if you like it as well I can teach how to cook some very good brazilian food. And I'd love to learn some foreign dishes too!
