ABOUT ME

I came to the US two years ago as an Au Pair, an exchange student programm. I planned to be here just for 6 months. Life is a good surprise! I've been here for almost two years. I'll be here a little bit more to finish my second undergraduation course.
I'm from a big city in Brazil, the third biggest one, and now I've been living in San Francisco, CA. I can't still say which one I love more.
I usually say that I love both in different ways. My hometown in all bars and its night life with alive music and many entertainment. San Francisco with its noir foggy and charming Victorian architeture.

I love to live here, but I plan to go back to Belo Horizonte as soon as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not sure if I have one. Is that too bad? hmm...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can't offer a couch, but I'm available to show some spots from the city where I live.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I didn't have any experience as a surfing yet. I'm planning to do it as soon as possible. However, I already had amazing experiences to meet people in my city and places that I visited. If you don't feel comfortable to offer your couch, you can just meet people and see how interesting they are. I love it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've visited Alaska in my last vacation. Mostly alone.
I've been in many of California national parks.
Grand Canyon was an amazing experience, but I still don't believe I've been in Yellowstone and saw wild animals and geysers.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook and I'm really good in Brazilian cousine. I can cook "pão de queijo", a traditional Brazilian cheese bread, "brigadeiro", a chocolate truffle very popular in my country and tropical salads. :)

I love to learn about personal stories. I think everyone has an interesting fact in their lives. I'm curious to know about yours.
