About Me

Gentle and caring hearts are strong warriors in the battle for happiness and free spirits.

I'm a super easy-going person and I love to share. Once a poet had said to me "words are the best gifts you can give to someone", as they can be the most moving and remarkable thing you can give. Words change lifes. Sharing words, thoughts and feelings humanize us.

I'm from Brazil, I'm a History and also primary teacher. I'm doing my second bachelor, in Pedagogy at the Universidade de Sao Paulo. I've done an exchange programm at Leiden University in the Netherlands last year and that was the most wonderful period of my life - it was not only a cultural experience, but it was a journey through human spirit.

Love traveling, meeting new people and their backgrounds, learning everything people and the world have to show.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been in Uyuni, Machu Pichu, Atacama, Rio, a lot of gorgeous brazilian beachs, musicals in New York, time-travelling cities in Europe.. I had cycled all the South Holland coast one day, drunk litters of beer at Oktoberfest in Munich and made a Snowman in the Swiss Alps.
However, the best thing that I've seen is how human beings are more similar than different all around the world. It is a special feeling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Friendship. Talks about History, specially brazilian. Some Brazilian music and food knowledge.
A pleasure to share thoughts.
