CURRENT MISSION

Find something I really believe in.

ABOUT ME

Curious, indecisive, reliable, a bit crazy, I guess.
It's hard for me to know what I want. But when I do know, (it didn't happen many times), I put all my soul on it.

PHILOSOPHY

"Revolution is internal"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I moved from Sao Paulo, Brazil, to London on February 2015. I wasn't (and I'm still) not sure why, for what / how long, where.

After spending a few weeks at a hostel I found a job at a catering and hospitality agency. Then a room. A new job, this time at Pret a Manger. While I was trying to understand the new food, weather, people, jobs, train, bus, coins I figured out that I was spending too much in my room.

So I decided to share the room with a friend. After a few weeks, a friend from asked me if I could move to Birmingham for one month to work with him.
"Yes! Less caotic life!" I thought. So I moved to a nice house with seven housemates. It was amazing to live with these people. I learned a lot about british culture, and maybe even more about my own culture.

Now the job is over I'm going to spend two weeks in London working for the same catering and hospitality agency as before. The plan is to see how I'll feel the city this time, after the first contact, and then, decide to stay or to go back to Brazil (where I can host you : ) ). Also, I have a trip alreday planned on 10th August, so it would be to expensive to rent a room for just two weeks.

Even if it's just for a few days, I want to meet new people, and I think this could be a very good way to do it.

Interests

In São Paulo I worked as a journalist, scenario assistant, and as an art exhibition assistant producer. I liked all my jobs, but I don't think I'd try to do things like that again.

While I was living in London I had to be very creative. (No money, no furniture, no bla bla bla). So, everytime I found something nice on the street I took home and gave it a new shape. It was a good time!

I'm still learning, but I like painting walls (mandalas, graffiti and collage), dancing, cooking, eating, walking randomly, meeting new people.

I speak fluente Portuguese and English, and I was practicing Spanish and Italian with my flatmates in London. We use to speak each one in our native language and we understood each others! It was very cool and at the same time, we learned new words.

PS: I'm in Europe with my italian passport

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Portuguese, list some very good songs and artists from Brazil. Cook brigadeiro and tapioca (even here in England!)

I would like to learn more about people lifstyle and way to understand a busy life like the one we have in London.

To share, agree, desagree, about how we see and feel this big caotic and amazing place.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The typical brazilian sweet called brigadeiro, thoughts, stories, books, paintings, and once I'm back to Sao Paulo, or decide to live somewhere, a roof.
