About Me

I am a psychology student living in Porto, Portugal for the next 5 months - coming from Salvador, Bahia - Brasil. A easy going and open-minded person who likes to talk and listen to the stories of the people I meet. I really like to be in nature but also to be in the hubbub of the city, where life gains another rhythm.
The world is huge, full of colors and I love to record some of its fragments with photography or writing. Art is really one of the lenses through which I see the world and I translate my feelings. Love to eat, to dance, to listen to some music and to discover new things (about cities, people, cultures...). Anyway, I like to be close to everything that moves me and that touches me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to get in touch with how people from different cultures actually live in their cities. Feel the atmosphere outside the tourist route and exchange experiences with the hosts. For me it is something special to meet people with different customs and ways of living!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my knowledge in psychology or whatever I know that can help someone. I also can help on portuguese!
