Hey there,

I am a half Brazilian / half Italian living in Bristol since 2020. After I finished my studies in Brazil, I decided to move abroad. You probably heard that Brazil is a vast country with lots of immigration over the years, we are a very mixed culture country, and because of that, my first stop was in Italy where I had the chance to do research about my family and also get my Italian documents. Unfortunately, Covid also happened at that same time and I had to stay there until things were a bit better around the world.

After 6 months, I then moved to England.

I've been in Bristol for 3 years and a half now, and this city has taught me so much! I met a lot of nice people, making me even more curious about life. Job-related I work in two areas, I'm part of the NHS, the healthcare public system, working as an Admin in a hospital, my other job is being a dancer for @shadecartel (follow us! ;), we are a group of dancers performing in festivals and events around the UK, it's been a pleasure to discover that I can find my creative side doing this. 

2023 has been an intense year. I divided myself between these two jobs, plus classes in administration for a course I am doing. After planning for over a year, I bought a special backpack, and for the second time, I am jumping on a long trip, gonna backpack around Latin America for 5 months. I have just spent a month with my family and friends in Brazil, and now to start this new year I am starting my trip in Chile, going all the way up to Mexico, and then seeing my brother in the USA.

Anyway, said that I am looking for accommodations + friends around all these Latin American countries, so I can share and create more memories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used CF 5 times already, but twice, I and the host lost the chance to write the references. I'm here because I love meeting new people and being able to use a reliable platform to have a first contact before meeting in person. I like to know the cities through the eyes of a local, and also exchange ideas about the different cultures and ways of living.

Interests

I love art, nature, history, and public health. If you ask me what is a good day for me, I will say either exploring a city by myself or sitting with people and chatting about life for hours.
