I'm from Brazil (Sao Paulo state) and in the past 13 years my passion for new adventures and my research career in Nutrition Science were my motivation to travel and work.
I had the opportunity to visit different states in Brazil such as Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina, Mato Grosso do Sul, and Alagoas; also visited other countries such as Argentina, Cuba, Spain, and France, and I had the opportunity to live in the United States in 2015 and 2019 and 2021.
Four years ago I decided to follow a new career pathway, I am working as an Energy Healing therapist, which changed my perspective about life appreciation!
And for the year 2023, I decided to be a nomadic therapist! So, I started my work exchange experience (using the Worldpackers platform) and I enjoyed it a lot!!! So, in 2024 the nomadic journey keeps going!

What inspires me??? Life experiences! Meet new people! Visit new places! Create friends everywhere I go! Good conversation, good music and tasty food! Share kindness and love with nature and the people around me!

My life purpose??? To bring and get healing, to be kind and happy where I choose to go!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling means to me new adventures, new friends, cultural experiences, food tasting, new challenges, and self-development! I believe that Couchsurfing will help me to experience my nomadic choice!!!
I am looking forward to experiencing new adventures and making new friends!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I like all kinds of music, pretty much everything as long as it is not too extreme. My favorites are Jason Mraz, Jack Johson, Maroon 5, and some Brazilian singers such as the bands Natiruts, Capital Inicial, the singer Djavan, and some others.

Movies: Well, I don't have a favorite one... a feel-good movie is always welcome. I just don't like horror and violent movies.

Books: Kaybalion, The Four Agreements, O Proposito

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, if you ask me 5 years ago if I had considered to be nomadic, I would never say that! Living the nomadic experience is a self-overcome and self-realization! And it is amazing so far!

I had some experiences to share! Nothing too crazy, but surely fun - at least, for me ;) :
- Doing work-exchange for about 15 months;
- Skydiving;
- I traveled by myself to some places in the US and met very nice people;
- I did a short trip on the back of a motorcycle on a dirty road (from Carrancas to Sao Tome das Letras, Minas Gerais state - Brazil) without a GPS;
- I published my first book last June 2023! It is about my and my friend's Energy healing experiences!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Brazilian Portuguese, maybe something about Brazilian music.
If you like to dance, I can teach you how to dance "samba" and "forró" !!! :)
I like to cook, so we can make some Brazilian dishes.
I would love to learn new languages and about the culture of the place, food, and music!
And I am always looking forward to learning and developing new skills!
