About Me

CURRENT MISSION

With a Master´s level, I wanna develop myself in a good company, how also enjoy my life traveling and meeting more and more people!
Currently working in the aviation market as a Cabin Crew, and always open for new opportunities around the world.

ABOUT ME

With my 28 of age, I would describe myself as a person that does not belong any country, religion and citizen.
Once living abroad we turn into a different world that it turns upside down which allow us to see the world in a differently way!
Right after finished my college back in Brazil I moved to Dublin/Ireland, where I had one of the best experiences living abroad and where I heard for the first time about CS. I lived there for 3 years accomplishing my Master then I moved to China.
I lived for 1 year in China where I worked for a international Chinese company, working with Marketing and a multi-cultural team, then I moved to USA for a while, then I had Euro Trip with my best friend and ended up in Austria to learn some german when suddenly I got a phone call from Emirates, and today here I am, living in the "sand" city where everything is "man made"!!

My current "life" it's a suitcase and my backbag! Whenever I have days off or a short holidays (leave) to take, I jump in a car, plane, camel, tuk-tuk and I go to explore the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I thought that we have to do what we have interesting. 'couse we need enjoy all the time to have fun, enjoying each second of our life.. and I have my phrase, never say never... we never know where we can be tomorrow! LIVE TODAY.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience was in Bremen - Germany.
He was living in small city, close to Bremen. He gave me all the directions to go there to meet him. He was friendly, and was very nice share the culture with him.
That was my first experience with CS, and was nice..
So, after that, I didnt have much time to travel, but yes, I had a opportunity to explore more about the CS, with even meeting in Dublin, just for hang out, even a picnic at the park, a simple coffee time, good to share knowledge and increase your networking of people!!!
In Germany, I got a CS in Stutgart - Germany, that was really nice.. the CS guy was really friendly and helpfull.
I never had a chance to host a proper couchsurfing, once living a small place and sharing with more people, and now in Dubai I live in Company accommodation and we are not allow to host no one (only family)
I stayed in China at Vini´s place, and I had a great moment with him.
Cs in Las Vegas - USA
CS in Los Angeles - USA
Cs in South Hampton - UK
Cs in Paris - France
Cs in Budapest - HG

And sooo many CS meetings in Ireland, China, Brazil and Dubai.. Why not meeting more and more people and get to know them well?
Now living in Dubai.

Interests

Not just a different language, but everything, the foods, typical dance, costumes, culture. But the most importing point, the same interesting to explore the world.
Sharing knowledge, with simplicity and good chat is more than essential to create a good atmosphere.
Sharing experience is the best you can do with a new cs friend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Since I was kid, I'm scout, that's it one thing that I really have proud of myself.
Which showed me the world in a different way since I was kid!
Also traveling around the globe and to learn and to be open mind with everyone, which has been one of the things that money cannot buy it :)

The experience that most touched me was when I went to visit a CS Irish friend in Cambodia/Siem Reap, in a villa 30m from town, where she was a voluntary in a school and she invited me to teach English for the kids, and lecture the classes for few days.. I was completely passionate for the kids, and I really wanted to spend more time with them and help them to develop their skills..

Teach, Learn, Share

With a BBa in Brazil,
MBA in Ireland,
Fluent Portuguese, fluent English, and knowing a bunch of english teacher its persuading my mind to start teaching english to kids in China, that in fact it didn't work well due my extensive hours at my main job back in china, but in Cambodia I experienced teaching to poor kids some English, and having as exchange a lot of hugs and love from them.
