CURRENT MISSION

There is a song from Caetano Veloso (Brazilian singer), that really describes what I feel being in the world: I am alive!

"(...) I'm alive and vivo muito vivo, vivo, vivo
Feel the sound of music banging in my belly
Know that one day I must die
I'm alive

I'm alive and vivo muito vivo, vivo, vivo
In the eletric cinema or on the telly, telly, telly
Nine out of ten movie stars make me cry
I'm alive
And nine out of ten film stars make me cry
I'm alive (...)"

ABOUT ME

It is not easy to talk about ourselves, especially when it is not in our mother language, but I will try my best!
I am an easygoing person. Usually, when there are different ways to go, the one I pick up is the correct one. So, it is always fine for me.
I love to wake up, to look at my hands and to think: I am alive!

I enjoy all topics related to Nature, my favorite hobby is to look for new plant species !=)
Invite me for nice hikes and I will be always up with a huge smile.

On my free time I also enjoy eating chocolates, drinking beers, red wine and coffee (I am a coffee addicted!). Well, let's make some coffee?
Watching people on the markets it's also a thing I enjoy doing it.
What else?
Well, let's see each other! I can tell you a bit more about me.

**At the moment I am on vacation until March/2018, therefore I am up for a coffee**

PHILOSOPHY

“To use some words until they belong to no language.”
—Manoel de Barros (Brazilian writer)

" Se procurar bem você acaba encontrando. Não a explicação (duvidosa) da vida, mas a poesia (inexplicável) da vida. "
—Carlos Drummond de Andrade (Brazilian writer)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the ideia about meeting new people around the world. Sharing experiences is the best way to learn about ourselves.

Interests

I am biologist, which tells a lot about my love for nature.
I really like hiking, climbing and visiting waterfalls. I'm a botanist, therefore I love places with a high plant diversity.
Well, ok, I also love chocolate, coffee and beers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My trip around South America was one of the best things I have ever done in my life! I went to Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Uruguay and Chile! I loved the people, the music and the food. It is not difficult to get in love with the whole South America! And the Spanish language is definitely my favorite! :)

In Brazil, my trip to Chapada Diamantina (Bahia state) and also the trip to Jericoacoara (Fortaleza state) were unbelievable! I would recommend these places for those people who really enjoy nature!

Madagascar was my last outstanding trip (March/2017). No words to describe it! Go and check it out =)
