I'm a Brazilian student. I'm from Taubaté, a city that is inside the state of São Paulo, but, I've moved to Curitiba, Paraná's capital since 2014 to get my graduation. In the middle of 2018, my university, Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná (UTFPR), has made an academic deal with the Instituto Politécnico de Portalegre (IPP). Then, the students, that have passed on the requirements, got the opportunity to study and get a Master degree in Midia and Society. Thus, I went to Portugal, specifically to Portalegre, located in the Alentejo area, in October, 2018 and there Ihae spent one year and a half studying. Then, I came back to my hometown Taubaté before pandemia starts now I'm living here and I'm getting another master degree in Communication at University of São Paulo.

I was used to giving English classes. I gave classes at Fisk and Wizard, big companies of teaching known all over the world. These experiences made me understand that I came to this world to be a techer, so I'm trying to get the way to take my academic career. I love Cinema and Theater. Actually, in Brazil, last year, I took a professional acting course like a hobby and I love to see and to be on a stage.

In general, most of my friends say that I'm enthusiasitic, funny, helpful and kind person. All of of them ask me to do massage too, because I know some information in how to do it. Modesty aside, it is really nice! i love to eat, but I work out really hard to compensate and I like to go to the gym too. I like the night life of the places, actually, in this case, I prefer to go to the discos. Summing up, this is me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have already visited some European countries using the platform for the first times and I would like to have as many experiences as I can. I'm not just looking for a cheap place to spend nights, I want to make friends and have good company while exploring the wonderful places of this continent! And, not only taking a chep place, but also exchanging ideas and culture habits are my aims. So, I believe that the most important thing in life are the connections that we make along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think that the most incredible thing I've already done happened when I left my hometown to study. I believe that this change made me a better human being, because I started looking the details in life. And, now-a-days, I can say that this expierence of coming to Portugal is an uploading of my first leaving.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I could help you with your English or/and Portuguese skills, I could help with the chores and I also could cook some Brazilian dessert. Of course, I will also offer you my friendship and my companion to go sightseeing, visit beautiful places, try great food and drinks... or maybe just hang out, talk about life and find out what we have in common! Unfortunately, I can't host anybody now, as I'm living in a student's residence, but I'm happy to offer you my house in taubaté or my house in Curitiba, if someday you decide to visit Brazil!
