About Me

I love knowing other cultures and learning new languages. I like to talk, although I'm a little shy at first.
I studied Meteorology at the University of Sao Paulo. I already had a formal job, an academic career, and I had my own company.
Right now, I'm pursuing a new life in a new country.
In the meantime, I enjoy doing yoga, studying Buddhism, and trying new vegan recipes :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've participated in Couchsurfing a lot in the past and, for some reason, I stop using it. Now I'm back :)
I cannot offer a couch, but I'm willing to know new people and practicing other languages.

Interests

I practice Ashtanga Yoga at home and I go to a Kadampa Buddhist Centre where I volunteer and have Dharma lessons.
Love to watch series but I wish I read more.
Love to cook and I'm passionate about a healthy lifestyle. I truly believe we eat to nourish our body, not for pleasure.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Samba, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Psytrance... Depends on the day!
One of my favorite movies is "Horton Hears a Who!", an animated adventure with a whimsical pachyderm and a bunch of philosophical questions.
Right now, I'm reading "The Hobbit" by J. R. R. Tolkien.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I managed to finish my Master's degree without going crazy... I'm kidding!
But one amazing thing I did was to realize that happiness is a state of mind.
