About Me

Update July 2024:

Moved to Brasília!

I can only host on weekends.

I spend almost my entire Saturdays involved with church activities and worship, but I'd be happy to share a meal at home on Friday night and make plans to hike or visit some places on Sundays :) I'm open minded about all beliefs and I respect all life choices, and I hope you do too 💜🌈

I'm fully vaccinated, in case this is something important to you.

Update October-December 2021:

Traveling a bit around Europe while studying and working online.

In 2014, I quit my job in Brazil to do a bit of traveling. I spent some time in Paris to learn French and was able to host some people there in a tiny studio, because I know how difficult it is to find a place in that city (and expensive)!

I just like to have a nice time with those around me. I work a lot, but I do my best to spend some quality time with guests and hosts if time allows.

Please have in mind that I cannot accept couch requests more than a month in advance. Last minute couch requests are OK (even better!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because sometimes you can have a nice surprise and find that people can be way better than we thought. I am really looking forward to making new friends. The best experiences I had were with people that invited me into their homes, so I prefer to make a public trip and not to send couch requests. I think it is important that the person that is hosting wants to host! I expect to spend a good time with my host, but I understand people have to work sometimes and I can be independent as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: this has changed sooo much in my live. I used to watch a lot of Tv and movies, but not anymore... I'm probably very outdated when it comes to this...
Music, as long as it say something worth singing and dancing...
Books: those that have something worth reading and that elevates the mind!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit my job as a public employee (considered a lifelong job by all my friends, colleagues, parents, relatives) to do what I should have done years ago: travel and find out what I really wanted to do. I did not get to that part yet, but I am sure having a better time than when I had that perfect job!

Had a bear encounter!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn new languages and I can teach Brazilian Portuguese if you are interested. It would also be nice to learn how to cook different dishes. I'm not a very good cook, but I can get by.
