I'm brazilian from de north-east de Brazil, specifically from a state known for its low economic development stereotypes, known as Paraíba - we are known too for our brave, worker and migrant spirity. I was born, grew up and lived in a calmly city named João Pessoa, localized in the coast, with a warm temperature. Always had this thing about a moving life, so I started by going to Portugal and once there, I had the opportunity to know the countries of the neighborhood. Being in this country, noticed that I just knew a little bit about Latin America, the territory where I feel that I belong. So I came back, and now I am in the beginning of this moment for recognize the others and myself through discovering people and places. After visit some states of Brasil, I am living in Argentina since 2015.

Soy brasileira del nordeste del Brasil, de un estado conocido por estereotipos que incluyen retraso, llamado Paraíba - también dicen que tenemos esto espiritu valiente, trabajador y migrante. Sin embargo, nací, crecí y viví en la costa, más precisamente en una ciudad muy tranquila llamada João Pessoa. Siempre tuve esto ímpeto/necesidad de cambio, así que empecé yendo a Portugal y desde ahí recurriendo algunos países vecinos. Estando ahí, percibí que conocía muy poco la america latina, que es donde me siento identificada y perteneciente. Después de visitar a algunas províncias de Brasil, ahora me vine a vivir en Argentina y me encuentro acá desde el 2015.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share points of view, to experience the other side of the moon -my mistake- the other side of cities i which visited and will visit -nearest to daily routine of the citizens. For me, is very importante incorporate new ways to do things, and being in the people's place, we can learn a lot about food, music and affective places of the cities. Always carry theses knowledges to share with my friends and family.

Para compartir puntos de vista, experimentar el otro lado de las ciudades las cuales me propongo a quedar, más cercano de la rutina cotidiana de quien vive ahí. A mí me encanta incorporar nuevas costumbres y, estando en un ambiente más propio de las personas, conocemos un montón sobre maneras de hacer, música y gastronomía, por ejemplo. Siempre llevo un poquito de estas enseñanzas para mi hogar y para compartir con los amigos y familiares.

Music, Movies, and Books

Writers like García Márquez, Eduardo Galeano, Milan Kundera, Clarice Lispector... However, they have lots of works which I haven't read yet and it's good because they will say new things in different moments of life.

Movies like the dutch "antonia"; the brazilians "abril despedaçado", "o homem que virou suco", "a hora da estrela", "cinema, aspirinas e urubus", "o céu de suely", "caminhando nas nuvens"; the almodovar's "volver", "abrazos partidos", "y tu mamá también", "hable con ella"; the hollywoodians "closer", "babel", "pulp fiction", "kill bill"; the denmark lars von trier "dancer in the dark", "melancholia" and others...

The "clasical" brazilian popular music like gilberto gil, caetano veloso, chico buarque, milton nascimento, jorge ben, tim maia, novos baianos, ave sangria, uakti, vinicius de moraes and the new ones like chico science, chico science, nação zumbi, bixiga 70, metá metá, abayomi orchestra, siba, lucas santtana;

The cuban silvio rodriguez and buena vista social club, the argentinian kevin johansen, spinetta (still knowing the musical expresions of this country);

Afrobeat like fela kuti, tony allen... and from Africa, Amadou and Mariam

north-american like budos band, menahan street band, the album "kind of blue" de miles davis

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think changing a life by moving from the country where you have born change the expected "destinies''. In this way, I experienced this sensation being for a while in Portugal, Spain and now, in Argentina.

Cambiar una vida yendo a vivir en otros países es una hermosa experiencia de autoconocimiento y conocimiento de los otros. Así que pude experimentar esta sensación quedándome un tiempo en Portugal, España y ahora en Argentina.

Teach, Learn, Share

I learn a lot by having good conversations, so I valorize these traveller's dialogues in order to share manners of being in the world through knowing people, working or with this desire of change. When I go to someone's house I feel revigorate to try new experiences and go a little bit far, overcoming the fears of the strange.
---
Apriendo un montón charlando, así que valoro los diálogos viajeros para compartir maneras de portarse delante el mundo, sea conociendo gente, sea trabajando, sea con este deseo permanente de cambio. Cada vez que voy a la casa de alguién me siento revigorada para intentar nuevas experiencias y ir un poco más lejos, sin los miedos del extraño.

Share experiences about travelling and the country where I was born, maybe cook a brazilian food.
