Overview
About Me
IMPORTANT:
- When possible, I like to spend time with CSers. So, if you are just looking for a place just to save money I am not the host you are looking for.
- I will probably deny copy and paste messages from people who don't read my profile. Specially if you even forget to change the name (I've got a few different names lately lol)
- I live with a roommate who is not in CS. Because of that, I can't give you the keys of the house and you will have to leave the house when I leave.
- Please write "e aí, beleza?" on your request, so I know you read my profile :)
CURRENT MISSION
Travel, enjoy and learn as much as I can
ABOUT ME
I am a psychologist looking for some nice experiences wherever I go. I love to learn about other people and cultures and I think traveling is the best way to do that, specially with CS!
I'm curious, friendly, talkative and adventurous. I love to explore the new and unknown.
I can't wait to get to know more places and cool people :)
PHILOSOPHY
-If you can not do everything, do everything you can :)
-"there is no happiness without sharing" (into the Wild)
-"The essence of living is discovering. Indeed, it is the joy of discovery that makes life worth the effort." (Vijay Krishna).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
When I joined CS I though it was just about hosting people. Now that I know it is much more than that I try to make up for the lost time.
I organized meetings in the past, and trying to plan others in the following months.
I can't always host, but will be happy to discover the city with you!
Interests
Traveling, learning and sharing, culture, music, movies, human behavior, Yoga and Mindfulness, and discovering new interests :)
Music, Movies, and Books
I like rock, metal, electronic, MPB (brazilian music), indie, dancing stuff and so on. It usually depends on the mood or on what Im doing :)
I always have the feeling I should be reading more books and watching more movies. Sadly I sometimes use the excuse that I have been too busy to read/watch more, but I would love some suggestions or conversations about almost any book or movie :D
CS has been a really nice way to get awesome suggestions and my list is growing fast...Already know what to do when I can not travel!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
-Jumping out of an airplane
-Moving to another country only with a backpack
-Living with people from many countries Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Venezuela, Spain, Belgium, France..)
-Visiting a prision and seing how people survive there, and visiting a place that was a concentration camp... not easy or cool, but important too!
Teach, Learn, Share
My English and Spanish are not perfect, but I could help someone with that if they need. I also could teach some Portuguese, my mother language. I am currently learning French.
Accepting books, movies, podcasts, etc suggestions :)

A place to sleepy, a good talk and luckily some good food :)
