My name is Gabriela, I study Fundamental Sciences for Health in University of São Paulo, which pruporse is mainly prepare professionals to do research at any area of health. I also participate of a university extension program where we make playful activities of science with kids and teenager of different schools. I've participated of some social works in Turkey and in Brazil giving seminars, doing activities with senior people and plating a sustentable vegetable garden.

I'm participating for the 3rd year of a theater club and that's what I like the most! Love art in general mainly making and watching to theater plays, making handcrafts, I'm learning about ceramic and pottery and I'm an amateur song lover.

I live in a big city full of buildings and everyday I miss the beach, waterfalls, forest and every opportunity I get to make trekking to go to any of these places I do it! Besides loving trekking and being in nature spots I also really enjoy going to a bar and talking to friends, going to night club to dance and having fun, specially if the place plays 80' 90' and 00' songs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for meeting people to talk about life and to live the real culture of the places I'll visit instead of only visiting touristic places!

I'm feminist and for me Couchsurfing works only to make friends and share culture and time together, nothing more!

Music, Movies, and Books

One of my favourite kind os songs is MPB (Brazilian Popular Music) and I can show you some after we meet :) If you are really curious to listen to right now you can look up for Elis Regina and Caetano Veloso which are 2 of my favourite singers! Plus I really enjoy classic rock from 80' and 90's, pop, blues and jazz.

For years my favourite book was The Shadow of the Wind - C. J. Zafón but right now its Água Viva - Clarisse Lispector. It's a really thin and deep book from one of the best literature writers in Brazil.

Have you watched The Joker? Incredible with an extremely huge and deep social criticism. Incredible and really shocking! Besides that, I loved One Flew Ove the Cuckoo's Nest. I watched several times and can't get enough of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done exchange program to Turkey, which was one of my best experiences in life! Plus, planting some trees and making a vegetable garden was also incredibly amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how see and feel happiness in small things of life that we usually forget. I like feeling small pleasures non capitalist while existing. In addiction you gotta share with me a bit of your time because you only will learn if you are open to - the same goes for me! ;)
