Resumen
Sobre mí
Hello CSurfers, welcome to my profile 🤗 I hope as you read this, you can feel the positive energy I carry in life. I’m a Brazilian soul guided by kindness, curiosity, and connection. I live simply, love deeply, and find beauty in everyday moments.
In the past, I had the honor of working with quilombola communities, an experience that shaped my understanding of empathy, resilience, and the importance of human connection. Today, I channel my passion for care through massage therapy, focusing on relaxation and relief from muscular tension, and through my little Mexican dessert venture working for seasons in Chapada dos Veadeiros—a sweet adventure inspired by flavors I discovered in Mexico.
Nature is my home, music my therapy, and meaningful conversations my favorite way to travel. I love sharing time with my guests and with my hosts, always valuing presence, kindness, and authentic connection.
I deeply believe that hospitality begins with courtesy: responding to requests, even to say “no,” is part of honoring someone’s time and trust. Couchsurfing is not for dating or flirting—while I have an open mind, I expect respect and clear boundaries in my interactions.
I admire people with positive minds, who strive to evolve, practice empathy, and bring light into the lives of others. Life is short, and I want to live it fully - sharing moments, stories, laughter, and tea (hot or iced!) along the way.

MY PHILOSOPHIES:
**Everyday is the best day of my life. Everyday is a new chance**
**My peace comes from living in harmony with my truth. No pretending, no performing.**
**Live softly, but with strength.
Kindness doesn’t mean weakness. Be gentle with others, but rooted in your truth.**
**Presence is the most valuable gift.
Whether it’s a moment, a conversation, or a shared silence, be there fully.**
**Live a healthy life!
Have fun, follow your passions, and don’t get so busy working that you miss living.**
**Surround yourself with people that you respect and those who care for you.**
**Don’t shrink to fit/expand to belong.
You don’t have to be less of yourself to be accepted. Your light will find its place.**
**Life is short and we must enjoy the best of it.**
**I want to be happy, to live every moment to its fullest and to take advantage of opportunities that present themselves.**
Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Surfing, hosting and enjoying meetings.
I mostly travel as a guest these days, though I love welcoming others whenever I can.
I’ve been part of Couchsurfing for 12 years, and I truly believe it’s a way to share, connect, and create memories, more than just a place to sleep. When I send a request or accept yours, it’s because I genuinely want to share a moment, a good conversation, or even just a cup of tea (hot or iced—yes, I love both!). What matters most is presence.
Even if our time together is short or you’re busy, that’s completely fine. I’ll always show up with a kind heart, respect, and a smile and I expect the same from you. It's free and kind!

Algo increíble que he hecho
Traveled to the US 🇺🇸 in 2014 without knowing a soul or speaking the language — a true leap of faith!
Left my mom’s house at 15 to live independently, working and taking care of myself — responsibility became my best friend early on.
Held snakes 🐍 in Mexico 🇲🇽 — a wild, unforgettable moment!
Took a snowy hike at the Grand Canyon Arizona during winter
Built a traditional oven in Greece with my Couchsurfing host and her friends — hands-on culture and friendship in action.
Posed as a model for six local French artists — a unique blend of art and adventure.
Enseña, aprende, comparte
Teach: I can teach some Brazilian words, a local recipe, music or dance, and being present.
Learn: Everyone is a teacher in some way I’m listening. Your truth, your culture, your way is something valuable to me.
