About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet friends, know many places and cultures in the world, learn a lot, be happy!

ABOUT ME

I seek a simply live, because I believe that family and friendship are the most important things. I love to travel and to know people, places, cultures, so I decided to study outside for a time. I finished the master in Journalism in December 2009 at Coimbra University. I lived in Paris for nine months (mar/dec 2014) to do a supplementary doctotal study.

PHILOSOPHY

Do the others what you want they do you.

I try to live simply, I seek to value the lived moments, the people and experiences that come my way. I love studying and teaching. I need to travel to be happy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in hosting people and also being hosted. When I lived in Coimbra, Portugal, I received several requests and I answered as much as possible. After returning to Brazil, I didin´t get more requests because I lived in a small town. At Paris, I lived in a university residence and I couldn´t receive guests. Currently, I live in a small flat and , maybe, I accept guests. I´m sure available for a coffee, a beach and a good chat!
