ABOUT ME

I'm a nice, tender and honest person. I'm a little bit shy, but very sociable ;)
And I like to laugh, a lot! :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm an Architecture and Urbanism student participating in a exchange program, so I'm studying in England for a whole year and during this time I pretend to learn and share as much as possible, meeting new people, new places, new cultures and new ideas! :)
And I've found in couchsurfing a really good way to achieve that!

I've already been to some CouchSurfing meetings, I've been hosted in France, Italy and Switzerland, and I've hosted once here in Leeds. They were all amazing experiences! :)

Interests

I'm interested in:

- architecture and urbanism! I'm doing it at university, so I'm always trying to learn more and more about it, and I believe that traveling is the best way to experience and learn deeply about it!
- history! I'm always interested in the history of places and people.
- photography! Photography is my passion! For me it's a way to show people how you see things in life, I love the way photography can make people feel different things. I'm a amateur, but I love taking photos (digital and analogue!)
- drawing. watercolor, handcrafting. I'm trying to practice and learn more about it! For me they are a good way to relax and meditate.
- music! I tend to like more old music than contemporary, but I'm now trying to listen to new and different things :))
- poetry! I can't say that I know a lot about this, but I love reading poems :)
- languages! I don't think I'm very good at learning languages, but I'd love to be able to speak at least 3 foreign languages fluently. I can speak a little of english, and a little bit of spanish and french.
- people! I consider myself a really good listener (and I prefer listen than talking), I love to hear people experiences, stories, dreams, daydreams...
- food! I'm not a good cook, but I like to see people cooking and I love to try new food, and I love eating :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I can think now has everything to do with couchsurfing!
One of them was the amazing Christma's international dinner in Bordeaux in 2012. It was a Couchsurfing meeting, all of us were alone for Christmas dinner so we decide to gather together. And we all were meeting for the first time, but it all flew so natural and good. We had people and food from every part of the earth and everybody sang and played Christmas songs from their countries. It was an unforgettable and lovely experience <3

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn and share everything that has to do about culture, history and architecture of the places.
I love brazilian music and I love to share it with people :)
I'd also love to learn how to cook typical foods, or whatever that its nhaammy! I'm not a good cook, but I'm trying hard! I can teach you some easy plates that I love ;P

I think everybody has something to share, teach and learn from others. Every single person has its own world in their mind and I love that interchanging of thoughts and ideas :)
