Hey! If my name is too difficult for you, just call me Isa ;) I'm a Brazilian Geography student, born and raised in Campinas, a metropole one and a half hour away from São Paulo. I am a big fan of books, german football, post-punk, Weissbier and nature-related subjects in general. I am also most known around my friends for liking really weird stuff, so please show me the most underrated things from your city, man!!

I lived in Porto, Portugal for six months, in 2019, as I was taking classes at the University of Porto. This was an awesome opportunity for me to travel around Europe and to make such good memories! That experience just made me more excited about getting to know new people and new cultures from all around the world!

I love to cook and to eat, but with no animals included! So for sure, I can introduce you to some delicious vegan dishes. I am also a dancer (Traditional, American Tribal Style and Tribal Fusion Bellydance), so feel free to ask me about it (with respect, please).

Unfortunately, I can't have people at my place at the moment because I share it with other people, but I would love to hang out and grab a beer sometime!

Music, Movies, and Books

Twin Peaks is a lifestyle already, man. I love everything David Lynch-related. Surrealism is my thing. I love to watch trash horror movies like The Toxic Avenger, The Thing, and other underrated stuff lol But on the other hand, I am obsessed with Before Sunrise trilogy and Closer! Balance is everything.

My favorite book is Utopia, by Thomas More, but my favorite author is Dostoiévski. I also love romantism novels and philosophy dialogs.

I listen to A LOT of things. Currently been into Deutschrap, Russian post-punk and techno, but I am a huge fan of old school death metal and Norwegian black metal.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I managed to reschedule my bus trip to St. Petersburg, which was canceled like two hours before the departing time, speaking absolutely no Russian with a woman who spoke no English. Good times...

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook and I can introduce you to some Brazilian (vegan) dishes - any vegan food, actually -, if we manage to get the ingredients :) I also know a lot of random facts about random things, so it's really easy to talk to me about anything, haha. But I am especially into music, geography, philosophy, and wars.

Please teach me an expression of your language! I would love that! :D
