CURRENT MISSION

Becoming an anthropologist!

ABOUT ME

I was borned and raised in Brasil but my parents and the rest of my family are from Peru. And I think I've always lived my life both ways: beeing happy and dancing samba and in love with the cultural and spiritual heritage of our ancient american people.

I'm a designer, photographer and soon, an anthropologist. I guess my most remarkable job was in Cusco-Peru, when I worked with native andean communities. After I came back to Brasil I had "all kinds" of jobs related to fashion design and social projects, like beeing a teacher inside female prision.

And right now I am back to university, studying anthropology. It´s an old dream, and never too late to go after it. Everything is making sense!

PHILOSOPHY

Helping the other is what helps myself.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I started using CouchSurfing for real when I lived at an apartment in Lima-Peru where all the roomates were Couchsurfers. We'd get people from all over the world all the time, and that was just amazing. After that, I hosted some people at my own appartment, still in Lima, and also in my hometown, Florianópolis (Brasil). I do use Couchsurfing a lot when I travel and thanks to the community my travels have become rich and unique experiences.
