About Me

I'm an easy going person and I rarely get shy. I'm Left-handed and reaaally clumsy, but I love cooking which demands certain coordination. I'm addicted to chocolate, tea, tattoos. I usually get grumpy when I'm sleepy or hungry, but it goes away as fast as it starts! I love dogs, cats, tiny hedgehogs and baby pigs. I still believe in the beauty of handwritten letters and in love sent in postcards. I love the heat of summer and beach days, but sunny days in winter also have their merit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was introduced to this community by a friend who loves Couchsurfing. I love to meet new people and get to know new cultures and ways of life! I think that that's the spirit of couchsurfing and I'll love to be a part of it!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I simply love music. I listen to a little bit of everything, but 80's and 90's pop and rock n roll rule my playlist of favorite songs. My favorite song tends to change time to time... It depends on my mood! I'm a huge fan of Florence + The Machine, Cat Stevens, Beatles, Stones, Joan Jett, Killers, Queen, Marisa Monte, Jorge Ben Jor, Mutantes, Secos e Molhados and many more!

Movies - My favorites are Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amélie Poulain, Star Wars (4, 5, and 6), Billy Elliot, Kill Bill and all Disney movies! Recently The Grand Budapest Hotel!

Books - I could write down a cult title, but I can't lie... My favorite books are the 6th and 7th of Harry Potter's saga. But I read loads of books! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think I can share with hosts my lifestyle as a biologist and as a brazilian. Also, I always find something I have in common with someone, so I promisse I'll never run out of subjects with people hosting me! But if you don't want too much conversation, I can easily stay in silence too.
