About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live, live, live, here and now!

ABOUT ME

I come from a very small, but wonderfull village in Brasil: Visconde de Mauá. There I grew up, learned my basics values, made friends for my entire life. At 18 was already time to move, so I went to Rio, a much bigger city, and I think that was when my journey began. After 2 years I decided to make a pause in my studies (Fashion Design) to come to Germany in order to work as a "volunteer" in a project in this small town where I'm living now. Step by step I'm making my way, new plans, new friends, discovering the world around me.. But it was after a trip with 2 old friends of mine and a brand new friend (I met her only 3 days before our trip), that i found out that I still have so much to see, and nowhere is that far that we cannot reach it. We rented a car in France, crossed Spain and drove untill Porto, it was a realy wonderful experience!I found out how amazing it is to take the road not knowing exactly what comes next, who you may get to know, the things you might see. But I'm still in the beginnig of my journey, so for me it is also important to feel myself secure. I like to think that I'll always have a cozy place to come back and will always have friends somewhere nearby (even if it near means only in my heart).I've already met "not-so-cool-people", but i'm happy to say that most of the people I've ever met are incredible, and I hope it keeps on like that. Now, this is the moment that I'm living: passion for life, passion of living!

PHILOSOPHY

Talking to each other is always the best opition to solve a problem, it doesn't matter how big it is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would reeealy love to receive some at my home, but at the moment I am, myself, already a guest where I'm living.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Once I lived in a students residence, we have always had guests there, from differents places in differents mood, but never throught CS.
My first experience was in this trip, about wich I wrote above. Aurika made contact with a boy in Porto and he, realy nicely received we all in his appartment. Everything went so well that it gave me the impulse to try it too!

Interests

Music (almost all kinds), literature, painting, singing (althought I'm very bad at it!), Getting to know new people (sometimes I'm a little lazy, but I really like it!), riding a bike, Photografie, learning!
