I'm originally from Brazil but currently living in Ireland, after living in Barcelona.

I'm into arts and chats in general. I love going to quirky and cosy cafés as well as modern high-ceiling ones. Connections and relationships between people are what I believe to be a silent revolution in a crazy and 'hurry-up' world like this. I'm driven by adventures, nature, sunny spots, philosophy, Latin American fiction books, Brazilian music and jazz, wine, cachaça and seafood, although I'm most of the time vegetarian!

If I don't know it, I'm very curious about it.

I also love food! It doesn't matter too much where but with who. Chatting is always good, I have good humour but some days I appreciate quietness.

Anyway, it's hard to describe ourselves here, isn't it?! I just would like to be clear that I like Christmas lights.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling, meeting people and new cultures and languages.
