hey there! :o)

my name is mariê and i'm from southern brazil, but now i live in munich, germany.

i am a dancer and i live for it - i actually came to europe because of that. i've moved to germany to start a dance school and in this journey i've travelled to some places, met a bunch of people, learned and shared a bunch of things and this is what matters for me. my will is really to continue traveling, exploring the world, and knowing a bit more about the culture of each place i go. and of course, trying to dance wherever i go. :o)

(talking about ourselves is really hard huh?? i swear there's much more than just that!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

because i truly believe in human energy exchange and i think this is a nice platform to make this happen. we are humans and we are here to do some crazy stuff and share our experiences with each other.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i got selected to be part of a educational dance project in switzerland and in austria called biblioteca do corpo. i did a big crowdfunding campaign to raise the money and i made it, thanks to everybody that helped somehow!

i also have played drums in a band. that was cool :o)

Teach, Learn, Share

i can teach you how to do a cartwheel, if you'd like to!
and i'm pretty interested in everything that uses your body in a nice way. yoga, climbing, capoeira...

i also like a lot to learn languages - i'm pretty obsessed with portuguese grammar and this made me a language lover. i'll probably ask you how to say tons of words in your mother language. and for me, it's like magic to discover connections between some words in certain idioms!

What I Can Share with Hosts

a nice talk about..hmm.. nearly everything, i'm a pretty curious person, good listener and enthusiastic speaker! hehe
