Overview
About Me
I am Brazilian and my thirst to travel has made me live in many cities of the country. Now, I want to try beyond borders. I am fascinated by the diversity of the nature and the human nature. I love Anthropology and the study of the imaginations, languages, possibilities of living and being. I like to write and read, I like to play with words. I am vegetarian. I believe walking is probably the best mean of transport. Bikes are likely the second. I'm curious about the world. I believe that it's healthy to be open to new experiences. I enjoy good talks, appreciate the arts and respect the silence.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Well, there are several people in the world and there are several worlds in each person. Couchsurfing is a fantastic tool that connects you not only to the world, but to the particular cosmos of people. It's interesting how much we can exchange just by opening our minds and doors. It's really enriching to know a place through the eyes of locals. And it's even more precious to make new friends wherever you go.
