About Me

Just a simple woman in my late-20s. As all human beings on earth, I'm still trying to figure it out my purpose in this world and find true happiness - and I have the grit to do it. I'm a travel lover, positive thinker, who love life. I'm very thankful for all the experiences I have been having in my life, mainly the people I have met on my way.

I'm still a student, studying engineering. I love what I do and I'm very grateful for have the chance get a uni degree.

I'm friendly, outgoing, self-motivated, always willing to learn something, sharing my experiences and get to know new people. I love to learn new languages and be in touch with new cultures - this is a wonderful way to open our minds and understand the world better, in its wholeness.
I'm a normal human, so in my spare time I usually going out with some friends, to have dinner or have a few drinks. I'm not a party seeker, so I prefer more quiet places with some nightlife sometimes.

The philosophy I follow is just weak up everyday trying to be a better person than yesterday. Do some good, work on be kind, work on trying to be the good we want to see in the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm very eclectic when the talking is about music!
I´m a music lover - I can spend hours looking for some new artists and creating lists on Spotify. It's an addiction. So, I would love to hear what you have to share in this subject, as well as I would definitely share my music taste.

I tend to like more drama movies, comedies, french movies, alternative movies, Marvel stuff - like super heroes - I love that. I' m more into TV shows - have some addiction to it. My favorites probably will be the world´s favorites, like Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Prison Break, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The first time I traveled abroad to Canada to study, I had a glimpse of how big is the world. But it was in my second year abroad that I realised the vastness of our world and its incredible diversity. The cultures are made of people, and nothing more interesting than know a person different from you, who has a diverse culture to share. Know people, know cultures, know the world - This is more valuable than any money we can get in this world. We are all human beings living in the same house - our earth.

One another thing I'm proud of is being a woman traveling around despite the fear - this is definitely an amazing thing I've done!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can always share my culture with you in many ways - culinary, music, movies, way of life, way of thinking, language! It is up to you! :)
I just love to learn new languages - I have a thing for it. Although I'm not a polyglot (yet! one day?I hope!), I have a huge interest in this subject, so basically any language amazes me, cause it reminds me about the beauty of diversity in our world and how different and interesting we can be, but still being all human beings.
We can always learn something and teach something, it all depends on how willing we are and what kind of person you want to be in someone else's life.
Kindness and tolerance is something we can always learn and practice, and there will be always someone wiser to teach us better.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my culture, my way of life, my ideas and plans. I can share my positive thinking, my bright side of life. I just would love to share my time in good company. After all, we can't buy experiences and there is no time to waste in this precious life.
