About Me

Brazilian, native of Porto Alegre, in the south of the country. All my life I lived in one city, but it never stopped me from seeing new places, different cultures and people. Traveling is one of my greatest passions, but even so I would not leave the place where I live. I live with another 90 people, among them adults, adolescents and children, we are an alternative community created by a group of friends who had enough courage to leave their apartments and live together in the middle of nature with the intention of having a different life , more natural. From this initiative was born this community, which has grown over the years attracting people from outside the country, practicing meditations, producing most of the food and products we consume. I moved to the community when I was just a child and something that my experience in that place gave me, was the need to discover unknown lands, and never opt for the most comfortable.
I have a great sense of humor, even though I look really grumpy sometimes. hard on the outside, but sweet inside.
I'm passionate about music, almost every style pleases me.
I love to sing, especially in a relaxed atmosphere among friends.
I love meeting new people, as introverted as I may sound.
I absolutely, LOVE to dance, but not in a professional way, more like in a ´´no one´s watching`` style, it can get really weird sometimes.
Love good conversation and hanging out.
But most of all, I love making new friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Me and my best friend from childhood are organizing a eurotrip for a month in the western and eastern part of the continent, we are looking forward to this trip, not only to have the opportunity to meet new places, but also to meet new people. We are very open and curious to know different cultures, habits and customs, we also like to have fun, go out for a drink or just stay with friends and we think that couchsurfing would be a good idea in this respect.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

once at the beach, me and a couple of friends broke into an abondoned house really close to the sea above the rocks, we knew that no one could possibly be living there and since we were to far from the hostel, we decided to stay there. It was almost a empty island, and there wasn´t almost any sign that anyone had ever been there, so we lit a fire, took the leftover beer and stayed there until dawn, one of the most amazing I've ever seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

PLEASE teach me how to establish a good conversation in english. I get really nervous and always mess up at some point, even if I always understand what you´re saying.
I would love to know you better, your culture, your hobbies, favorite places and hopefully, get a friend for life
