CURRENT MISSIONS

Travailler (beaucoup) en France pendant j'apprends plus sur la France et la culture française. 💓🇨🇵

"Ce n'est pas que sur les lieux que j'ai visité, mais aussi sur les personnes que j'ai connu."

************************************************************

Work (a lot) in France while getting to learn more about France and french culture.

"It is not just about the places that I visited, but also about people who I met."

************************************************************

Trabalhando (bastante) na França, enquanto aprendo mais sobre a França e sua cultura.

"Não foram apenas os lugares que eu visitei, mas sim as pessoas que conheci!"

ABOUT ME

A woman consumed by wanderlust.

I was always up to meet new people and that means for me: new views about life, the world, people, sharing experiences, so...LEARNING a lot! Nowadays, most of the time I am working, but I still find some time to explore places, feeling the energy of every place and every day of my life!

*************************************************************

Um dia, acredito que uma amiga conseguiu me definir: "a Fran é um liquidificador ambulante! Juntou vários ingredientes, colocou no liquidificador e tcharan...É a Fran!".
Penso que sou assim, um pouco de tudo. E do que eu não sei? Do que não sou? Sempre tento compreender, apreender, colocar no liquidificador o que acho bom e ampliar ainda mais essa mistura.

PHILOSOPHY

Entrego. Confio. Aceito. Agradeco.

...aliada às práticas budistas.

***************************************************

Give. Believe. Accept. Thank.

...And the Buddhism practices, meditation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Having FUN! It could means either a long night of conversation about everything or a house party, either a classical concert or a rave! Hosting, travelling, meeting people..I think it's the essence of CS.
*****************************************************
Hospedando, viajando, conhecendo pessoas, fazendo amigos - que é a parte que eu acho mais interessante! A verdadeira natureza do CS!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was when I hosted a Korean girl who was fluent in Portuguese. WHICH part of the world I could live this kind of experience rather than in the CouchSurfing community?
I really loved every moment that I lived with all CouchSurfers who I met.

*********************************************

Amo a ideia de conhecer tantas pessoas de tantos locais diferentes, de poder conhecer "outros mundos" que a minha aderência ao CS foi praticamente instantânea!
Minha primeira experiência foi hospedando uma sul coreana queridíssima que falava um português incomparável. Onde conviver com uma experiência dessa se não fosse com a galera do CS?!

Interests

Energy (since your feelings until the energy industry), surf (on the couch and on the sea), travel, take pictures which shows what I saw/felt, learn, learn, learn, go out with family/friends, meet new people/make friends, know new places, feel the energy of every place that I visit, learn, learn, learn again!

****************************************

Energia! Surf (no couchsurfing, mas... especialmente... no mar! :]), viajar, tirar fotos que reflitam o meu olhar e meu sentimento, aprender, aprender, aprender, sair com meus amigos/famí­lia e conhecer novos lugares, novas pessoas, aprender, aprender, aprender novamente.

Music, Movies, and Books
