I am from rio de janeiro (Brazil), where i lived almost all my life! When i was a child, i lived in Switzerland for 2 years with both my parents (too bad i can't remember it LOL ). Later, when i was a univeristy student, i received a sponsorship to an exchange programm to Spain, i lived in Alicante and it was the best year of my life! Almost all countries i visited was due to this hole year that i lived in Alicante! But this was 7 years ago ! :(
Until september 2018 i was in Rio de Janeiro, but now i live in Coimbra (Portugal), i'm taking a master degree in this small and cute city, where all my family is from (:
Through that i discovered that i belong to the world ! I love to travel and to get to know new cultures, places and people ! And also to taste all kinds of foods (specially the ones that are animal free xD #LetsGoVegetarian) Ever since i can remember I have a huuuuuge conection with animals (I HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL CATS), i even study 1 semester of veterinarian school, but i realized i couldn't deal with animals in struggle ! But biology is part of me, so i graduated in Biology and worked as a teacher in Brazil. As a true biologist LOL , i love to be around nature, love camping !! For me true vacations need to have nature, even a little bit (beach, trackings, waterfalls etc).
During my free time, i usually choose to watch a movie, cook a nice dinner, (while listening my samba playlist, of course) or go to concert, always along with my friends ! :)
One important fact about me is that i am super in love with Carnival, Rio de Janeiro's Carnival !!! Everyone in the streets has such a good energy and i can use glitter all over my face and body ! I absolutely love glitter (anyone around me knows that) #LoveToShine
Fun fact: I alredy worked as a tattoo artist but No.. No.. I don't have any tattoo

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to be around good and open minded people, to know their life story and drink a nice glass of wine (to have pizza and chocolate is always a good idea)! To sum up, i would love to receive people at my house and to travel and know not only the cities but someone that lives in it, after all the locals know better !
