About Me

I love to travel, and I make a great effort to do that. I love to walk around and know the places and watch people living their lives. I also love movies, and literature, but music is my thing. I love to dance too! :)
I'm also very interesting in learning about different popular cultures, and I'm particularly envolved in racial and gender questions, specially about Latin America and Brazil.
The best places to be is at the beach, during the summer, and at my bed during the winter.
Writing is my hobby, and I enjoy a clever and long conversation about aleatory things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to know people and make friends! Couchsurfing is a great oportunity to learn, to experience different ways of living, and to I appreciate the way people decide to offer their places just for the pleasure of helping the others. :-) Sharing is a very important word, and it must be practice everyday.

And then, I'm still learning the importance of making connections and being openminded. The world is big and complex, so, let's live our lives integrally experiencing differents ways of existing.
