About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm a brazilian fashion designer. I also studied communication, and used to work in advertising before that. I guess I decided I'd rather make beautiful things than just sell pointless stuff made by other people. In 2009 I moved to Europe and traveled around the continent. I met wonderful people there and had great experiences. However, since the passion for travel has taken me over, it won't be too long before i'm packing my backpack one more time. What else can I tell you? There's two sides to me. Push the right buttons and you get an energetic, partying, laughing, talking, joking girl. When you don't, you still meet a very nice person, but a lot more shy and quiet...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience in Couchsurfing was Fernando, who was hosting a friend, and offered us a walk-through of Sintra, before I went to Lisbon for the first time. Next, I attended a CS group meeting in Barcelona and hung out with João, Juan and Eloi. Ilde was officially my first host, in Madrid. I've since had the fortune of being hosted by Fulvio in Milan and Timy, who took me out to see some fabulous fireworks in Paris. Pedro was the first compatriot I met through Couchsurfing and now I hope to receive requests from people wishing to discover São Paulo with me.

Interests

I'm very interested in art, design, fashion, music and nightlife. I must warn you, I also have an unhealthy obsession with pop culture and random 80s related things. Just just knock me upside the head if I start rambling too much about it and we should be fine...
