About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to know the world and the wonderful people in it (including myself).

ABOUT ME (Brazilian living in Lisbon/Portugal)

I guess you can say I'm all about new experiences. I'm always in motion, getting to know new people, taking courses, dancing, traveling. I've lived in a bunch of cities my whole life and I love that new exciting feeling when you move to a new place and everthing is filled with possibilities.

Although I have a lot of energy, I'm not hectic all the time. I can go skydiving, but I also love sitting around with a glass of wine and have a great conversation.

PHILOSOPHY

"Love all. Trust a few. Do wrong to none." W. Shakespeare

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted and also met travelers for drinks in Brazil and have stayed with couchsurfers around the world. I'm now living in Lisbon, so meeting people is a priority.

Interests

Movies, working out, latin/african/brazilian dances (bachata, forró, zouk, kizomba, salsa, anything really), philosophy (I minored in philosophy), traveling, cooking... And anything new, I love to learn new things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Oh, God, this is hard.

I love reading. Just finished "La Sombra del Viento" by Carlos Luiz Zafon, and I strongly recommend it.

Movies? I watch everything and anything. Some of my favorites, for complete different reasons: The Lives of Others (Das Leben der Anderen), Vanilla Sky, Groundhog Day.
