About Me

~~ Currently not accepting guests but send me a message, I can still show you around Rio!~~

I'm a 21-year-old girl that lives in Brazil and, like everyone here I imagine, loves to travel around meeting new people! Because of that, I work as a receptionist in a hostel in my hometown Rio de Janeiro and it's been a fantastic way to meet travelers from all over the world and experience new cultures.
During my free time, I like to go to the beach, cycle around, go hiking, catch a movie but mostly grab a beer after a long day. I'm a bit of a bookworm (I read mostly fiction but open to any book suggestions) and also a huge music fan, from Soul to Reggaeton, I listen to it all!
I like to think that I am a funny person even if my friends say I'm not. I can be a little introvert sometimes but still love to chat about adventures either me or you experienced!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend recommended it to me after she traveled around through Europe using it and had only good experiences. So, after booking tickets to visit some of the amazing people I've met working as a receptionist I decided to give it a try and meet more open-minded travelers like myself.

Music, Movies, and Books

As I said before I like pretty much everything when it comes to music, but some of my favorite artists/bands are Eric Clapton, Arctic Monkeys, Post Malone, Alok, and Khalid.
When it comes to movies I love psychological thrillers!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Solo backpacked for the first time when I was 18
- Worked as a volunteer during the Rio Olympics and Paralympic games in 2016
- Got accepted into med school but decided to postpone it to work as a receptionist in a hostel for 6 months

Teach, Learn, Share

I currently speak four languages with different levels of proficiency in each one of them (I'm fluent in English, Portuguese and Spanish and have been learning Italian for a little over a year now). So if you can I'd love to practice any of the above with you and also learn a little of other ones as well! =)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook a couple of Brazilian/Portuguese dishes and can also make a sick Caipirinha
