About Me

Architect, baker, and social entrepreneur passionate about cities and cultures who decides to expand the carrier and travel around Africa following amazing impact projects. That’s me. Or a kind of.

👩🏻‍🍳 I also love to make brownies and brigadeiros, just please please don’t ask me to make pasta (or any salty food) - probably I will burn it! 🧯

Oh! I am vegan 🌱, but don’t worry. Veganism is about inclusion, not exclusion. We will manage it! 💚 and no, not even fish.

🏳️‍🌈 Last but not least, this is a hate-free profile. Everyone is more than welcome to be whoever they want to be and show off their true colors. You belong, you are valid, and hope will never be silent. 💪🏻💪🏽💪🏿

⚠️ It’s bad but I have to say: this is not a relationship app. Guys, for god sake, respect the girls. If you have any other intention than exchange experiences and be respectful, please keep it for you. Don't be disgusting.
NO HARASSMENT WILL BE TOLERATED, keep it for you, and PLEASE be better. :)

🌍 Currently based in Mozambique 🇲🇿

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Years ago, when I subscribed to Couchsurfing, I just want a free night in a couch - who doesn’t, right? Hahaha

Today, almost 10 years later, CS makes part of my experiences. It’s an incredible way to live the places and discover how similar we are even with years and years of different history and oceans between us. I met so many amazing people thanks to the app and I hope to include you on this list soon! 😁

Music, Movies, and Books

#1: I am crazy about tv shows, all of them.
No, I’m lying. I hate orange is the new black.

#2: When I decided to move from Brazil I had 23kg allowed in my luggage, of which almost 7kg were from books. Yup, a kindle can make my life easier, I know. I already have one, but OMG THE SMELL OF THE PAGES! How can I live without it?

#3: I was living in Egypt when someone asked me what I missed most about my Brazilian life, my answer was “reggaeton”. C’MON!! Life is better with Maluma! 💃🏻

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

As a baker, I can teach you some Brazilian sweets while we drink wine and you tell me about your craziest travel night! I love to hear stories and I love to know more about places I have never been before.

As an architect, please use my brain!! All the architects in this world loooove give tips and put some room in order, really. Feel free to ask everything you want, and maybe we can try to fix that problem you still have in your toilet flush after all these months!!👷🏻‍♀️
