About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Ser feliz, descobrir a mi, mis sueños, probar nuevas comidas, conocer más de la cultura y de la musica de otros países, conocer nuevos puntos de vista.

Be happy, discover myself, my dreams, trying news food, new music and welcome to different point of views.

ABOUT ME

** No oferezcas dinero em couchsurfing. Tampoco lo cobre. Siga la filosofia de Couchsurfing.
Do not offer money in couchsurfing**

*** Pida couch por couchrequest, no por mensaje, por favor
Do not ask for a couch in messages. Do it by couchrequest please***

Quiero conocer personas, aprender sobre sus vidas, su cultura. Me encanta hablar castellano, inglês y francês. Me encantan diferentes ritmos musicales (rock, latino-americana, MPB/brasileña, ritmos afrobrasileños, samba, reggae, blues y otros). Tomo clases de canto.

PHILOSOPHY

Intento ser feliz y hacer diferencia em el mundo. Para mejor, por supuesto. Puede ser haciendo los otros reirense.

Woow. Why do I live my life? It´s serious question... To be happy, and try to make a little difference in the world - for better, of course! Even if this means only making others laugh =P

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed in Brazil, France, Spain, Chile, Peru and Colombia and I had great experiences hosting people from a lot of countries

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Tuvo buenissimas experiências em Couchsurfing. Pero, hasta junho de 2015, recebi mucho más que me quede en la casa de surfers. Vamos ver si ahora cambia la balanza.

They were great. But I only surfed five times. I hosted more than surfed until now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Entrar em Couchsurfing =) Viajar, sola o no. Decidir el trayecto del viaje em el caminho. Compartir un apartamento. Aprender a cantar. Hacer parte de grupos de batucada, maracatu y carnaval callejeros.

Hmmm An Eurotrip with a lot of adventures. Deciding where to go when you´re one the road, in Brazil. Sharing an appartment. Entering in Couchsurfing. Learning to sing. Learning to play a a big drum called surdo. Taking part in Bloco da Laje and Turucuta Batucada Coletiva Independente.

Teach, Learn, Share

Enseño lo que puedo y comparto sonrisas.

Well, I don´t know exactly what are my gifts, but I´m sure you can discover at least one. People say I sing well, but I have to improve it - I´m taking classes now! I want to learn how to play a guitar. I always teach a litlle bit of Portuguese to my surfers =)
