CURRENT MISSION

Meeting friends and new (exciting) places

ABOUT ME

I'm the kind of person that never says no to new things. I can try any food (that's not spicy lol), sport, place, drink... anything! At least once. Also I'm that friend that when nobody wants to go out, I cheer everybody up and can even make (at least some of) them change their minds :)
I'm fun, I like to make jokes all the time, however, I can be very serious. The thing is I'm really shy, some people confuse that sometimes, thinking I'm stuck up or so, but I'm really quiet if I don't know people. Once we start talking, getting along (no, we don't need to become best friends for that haha), I don't stop speaking, telling my stories, listening to other people's and even making fun of things!
I'm not really a morning person, not a big fan of waking up early (but wait, who is?). But since I've become a grown up, I had to learn how to live with that haha I just don't like to talk that much right after waking up, I need my time to REALLY wake up (I might look awake, but I'm still sleeping sometimes haha). I like staying up late, I'm a little more active in the evening!
I'm very friendly, neat, organized and nice. You'll see...

I've lived in Brazil, in the (cold!!) Netherlands and currently in New Jersey, USA. So I do have many stories!

PHILOSOPHY

"In every life you have some trouble, when you worry you make it double. Don't worry, be happy!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had great experiences, also some not so great, of course. I think this is incredible and the exchange is always rich for both parts.
My mother has also hosted several people in our house and also was hosted in Brooklyn/NY. I introduced CS to her and she has used it much more than me now, how funny is that?

Interests

I like adventures so anything that involves some butterflies in the stomach, excitement and even a little fear are quite appealing to me :)
Also I like movies, BEACHES, theaters, singing, dancing, skiing, TRAVELING, sharing experiences... I'm not very into museums but I like visiting them too, they're (a big!) part of every place we visit, right?
I love reading... I always have a new book. My favorite ones are fictions and biographies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- When I was in Michigan, my friend took me for a night boat ride in a river close to his house... I remember looking at the sky, it was amazing: I had never seen that many stars!
- My first time in NYC... it's my all-time favorite place and all the other thousands of times I went there afterwards were just as great!
- When I traveled to San Francisco and looked at the Golden Gate Bridge and cried (!!!). I still don't know why but it felt so good being right there, in that place, which I'd known from movies and pictures... being so close was overwhelming and exciting!
- Seeing the Tour Eiffel for the first time. Can't explain the feeling! Might sound clichê (and maybe it is?!) but it made me feel so happy, so blessed and excited!
