Overview
About Me
Hello,
I'm from Brazil, my family is all from Argentina. I have lived in the US for about three years, Italy for about four, Denmark for a year and now I am living in Munich working in Pharma R&D.
I was a girl scout and I'm very adventurous, I love hiking, biking, rock climbing, rowing, sailing... In sum, I love whatever fun sport in the nature.
I love music and I love to play guitar. If you know anything like this, or any other instrument and you carry it with you, I'd love to learn! =)
If you know something different, or do something different and like to share knowledge, share it with me. I'm a good listener and I love learning new stuff, I will share whatever knowledge I have as well.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is a wonderful thing and we have to take advantage of it the most. We have to know people/places in order to be happy and have all the feelings/experiences that we can in this world. I believe that the more feelings/experiences you have and the more people/places you know, the more you will feel comfortable with who you are.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
My father in Rio de Janeiro and my sister in Buenos Aires started hosting couch-surfers in their houses. They had great experiences which encouraged me to do the same and join the community. Later in Chicago, I lived with other three friends and we hosted many surfers on our sofa bed and learned a lot from them. :)
Interests
I love hanging out with friends, listening to and playing music, and watching movies. I also love hiking, riding bikes, rock climbing and any other sports involving nature.
I love to discuss about the universe that surrounds us ad try to understand it from different perspectives, which come from different people from different contexts. It could be about science, politics, religion, philosophy... anything.
