About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live in a world without greed!

ABOUT ME

Hello!Olá! Hola!

I am from Brazil, from Minas Gerais state (South East), a unique place, full of culture, awesome food, history and bohemian people. As most of them, I love to be with my family and friends drinking, eating and having a good conversation.

I graduated in Biology in Brazil . I love to be close to the nature, especially inside forests.

I am always a happy person who is always laughing and smiling, even when I am alone, which makes me feel weird sometimes!

I love cooking! I always try to learn some different dishes wherever I go. I have a group of friends and we usually meet up once in a week, and every time someone is in charge of cooking food from their country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Excellent opportunity to meet very nice people and other different cultures!
The best part of it is to understand and feel how human are kind with others. When someone share you his/her house, they are opening their lives for you! Letting you be part of their lives and history.

Unfortunately there are some stupid people that think that CS is for saving money. For those, I just give a good tip: go to hostels!

On the other hand, for those who want to learn, share, discover and have the best experiences in their lives: WELCOME TO COUCHSURFING!

Interests

Art: I especially like paintings and my favourite ones are Impressionists. I like Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, Paul Cézanne, Alfred Sisley, Camille Pissarro and the best of all times: Vincent van Gogh!
