About Me

I'm clumsy, my memory is the worst ever, I'm terrible with technology, people say I'm very sweet and polite but actually I like to curse a lot (still learning how to curse in english).

Also I'm brasilian and decided leave my warm and cozy country to live abroad, study business in US and start to explore the world, different cultures and new perspectives, meet incredible people and share warm feelings. I have a creative soul and a curious mind so I love art, museums, music, history, cultural issues, crafts and crazy, cool and unique places! I'll never say no to a cup of coffee, a visit to a thrift store or a urban exploration.

I read this on a sign on the street and I carry with me since then "EMPHATIZE, we're all floating in space", that means a lot for me and the person that I want to be till the end of my life. Look the others with curious, respectful and understandable eyes.

A warm hug can be included when you meet me! ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took the courage to change my life completely and start an adventure. I got on an airplane with 2 bags, some plans and a dream, and I'm living the amazing thing right now!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always up to learn something new, even if I'm not good at it (like science, memory games or tecnology) I'll probably want to know more, so tell me about it! I also make fiber jewelry and art pieces with rope, cotton and wool, so maybe if you want to learn something new I can teach and share what I know!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a nice and cozy company and a great cup of coffee, that I'm gonna make to you. Or I can search crazy and unique places to you to visit in your own city, I'm crazy about find those kind of places! :)
