I AM IN A RELATIONSHIP AND NOT INTERESTED IN DATES / HOOK UPS.

PLEASE READ MY PROFILE COMPLETELY AND TELL ME THE PASSWORD THAT U WILL FIND BELOW.
.
ABOUT ME: I am adventurous, outdoorsy and easygoing. Scuba Diving is my passion. I like to know new people, new places, new culture, new language and why not?.. a few steps from the traditional dance.

Recently I am more invested in integrative / self care practices such as breath work and meditationdoes not mean I am not an adrenaline junkie.

Life enthusiast, always having the newest and most insane million dollar idea!

i am flexitarian but will not say no to a meat based dish when travelling.

I am practical and direct person. Communication is key.

I am interested in humanitarian and political matters . wherever I go I try to visit and engage with any organization that fights for human rights.

I am clean and not picky. I will NOT utilize much of ur space or ur resources ( electricity and water). A couch is perfect to me and i will be grateful for it. I will respect household rules and your values.

About me:
Brazilian and Canadian citizen. I have a family (I am NOT open to dates). Graduated in Economics and MBA. Masters in Social Work.

FEW REQUESTS:

1. Send me a message letting me know WHEN u plan to come to my city. Probably i will not answer your "hello".

2. Be communicative and be responsive to exchange messages before arrival to stay in touch. 1 message, 2 months of silence, and after than a knock knock at the door is what you can do over booking.com and not through CS.

3. I take travelling and couchsurfing very, very seriously. Couchsurfing is NOT a dating website. Back off!

4 . I do my best to provide you a great experience ( and if i can host you but for some reason I cant spend much time with you I will let you that in advance). It is my expectation you take the time to write a MEANINGFUL message , telling about your experience with me... ("I am not a jerk" is the password, if u read my profile pls let me know ) I will do the same with you and actually i will reply your referral :). Also CS'ers rely on referrals to find hosts and guests... ;)

5. Smoking is allowed outside home. NO DRUGS allowed.

6 Alcohol is allowed in my place in moderation, please dont get overly drunk

Here some quotes that defines me at this moment:

“Of all book in the world the best stories are found between the pages of a passport” unknown
“When something good happens, travel to celebrate, If something bad happens, travel to forget it, If nothing happened travel to make something happen” Unknown
“ Don’t call a dream, call a plan” Unknown

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

“Wherever you go and whoever you meet in life becomes part of you somehow” ( Anita Desai)
“ Travel make you modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in this world” Gustav Flaubert

I dont like hotels. They are bored and not personal I would stay in a " home" w locals or other travellers and get to know more their lives as a native
