"Did you know? You choose how you see life." - a note had been left by my friend on my table few years ago and that still resonate with me.

I see life as an school, where I am here to learn about myself, about relationships, society and nature. So, I like challenging myself, my concepts and patterns to re-open the way back to my essence and "inner child".

I value honest relationships (telling the true, talking about feelings..), showing affection through the food we eat and serving. I am aware I am responsible for my own actions, feelings and its impact on the world. I value respect for each other differences and space.

I believe that there is goodness, love and compassion inside of each one of us and that we need to put it out there on the world and share with others the gifts we have, respecting the nature and all beings.

My challenge in this life, I think it's to let be and trust in the flow of life - without "controlling" it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To know amazing people and share experiences, dreams, energy and enjoy life!

I used "informal" couchsurfing for a long time, like "I am going to Mumbai, does anyone know somebody over there to spend time with and maybe host me?". So, I discovered an easier way to do it :Couchsurfing! Then I saw how amazing it's!! I've made great friends here and grate memories through meaningful conversations, respecting each other boundaries and spending quality time together that I will carrier for all my life.

I hosted some people (I've met randomly or over the internet) at my parents house and my boyfriends house.

Interests

I love being outdoors, love pets, animals and nature. I feel so good when I cook my own food with fresh vegetables and that I respect my body.

I believe in an education that we "leave the kids alone" to be themselves, to learn thru curiosity and follow their interests, where adults participate putting limits with love and caring, without their paradigm and expectations. There is a song, actually a poem from Kahlil Gibran's - The Prophet, that exemplify it; it's called "One Children" sing by Damien Rice (Just in case you are interested it worths the time!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2DmU-u_reo)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

People say I'm brave about traveling alone and not planning things, maybe I am so or maybe I'm just an explorer that aims connections, freedom and challenges to get closer to my inner self.

The most incredible things are right in front of our eyes, even the simple one. I've made amazing things on my life and I try challenging myself stepping out my confort zone every time I realize I am on it. So, there are couple of nice things (for me!!) I did once and I want to share:

I made a crowndfunding campaign to go to an event in India;
I swam without my clothes in a waterfall for the first time on my life in January 1st 2017;
I've dropped out of college to hold events and participate in student organizations - then I came back and finished;
On my first trip abroad, to Egypt, I didn't know how to speak English;
I've already facilitated workshops at slums;
I made a puppet theater for a beautiful child in a forth in Santos, SP;
I've took the oldest train in Kenya on its last day of operation;
... and so on...

Teach, Learn, Share

Every human interaction we teach and we learn - it's a both way gift. I love cooking vegetarian meals, so we can cook together; We can discover new places and go for a hiking, biking, any adventure I am in.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories, energy, experiences, dreams, joy and lots of food!! :) Also I can share vipassana meditation technique, conscious and living pedagogy and much more!
