About Me

A citizen of the world, very open-minded and willing to make friends from different parts of the world :)

I'm still relatively new to Couchsurfing but the experiences that I had so far were amazing, so I would like to continue doing so. For me, it's the perfect oportunity when travelling by myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people while travelling, to share stories and also to get a more local view of the places I visit.

Interests

I'm a scientist (at least trying to be one) in the field of biochemistry, which is something that I really like doing. Besides that I have a broad range of interests that include learning languages, cooking, travelling and getting to know different people. I'm also really passionate about nature and all of the forms of life that exist out there in the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

In terms of music, I consider myself quite eclectic listening from old Brazilian songs to jazz, classic and today's hits. Regarding movies, I like a good drama, a Sci-Fi, thriller. I like specially those that make me uncomfortable somehow, meaning that they make me feel something.
I wish I had more time for books, but science usually keeps me busy enough in this aspect.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Tongariro Alpine Crossing in New Zealand, which goes through an active volcano.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love both learning and teaching, so basically everything included in the Interests section also applies here. A meal and a smile are things that I like sharing :)
