About Me

I am now in Brazil!!!

Food is my number one passion and this sentence is what define me better, for sure! I absolutely love cooking, and sharing meals! I'm passionate about flavors and I will probably ask for recipes if you cook for me!
Boredom is my nightmare and I have to avoid it constantly, I love to change! I'd rater learn by trying and living than from books, even though I love them!
I've been living in Rotterdam for an exchange year and I have learnt so much I couldn't even describe, people are fascinating!
The only things I really hate are the winter and lack of empathy! I've been trying to live positively, complain less (it's being challenging!), drink more water, be a better listener, try more vegetables and be more gentle to inner self!

If you read until here, hope we meet someday! (:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Isn't it wonderful people opening their houses to strangers, showing their cities, sharing meals, getting to know each other? It is simply an amazing gesture of love and share. Both host and guest get something out of it and the world gets a little bit better! (:
You get in touch with locals and the true city! There's no 5 star hotel where you could learn that much!

I've hosted so many Brazilians while in Rotterdam, some became good friends now and I've also hosted people through here, from different countries, so much that I've learnt!

I'm on couching to fell this energy exchange. (:

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Brazilian music so much and also latin American sounds!
My favorite kind of movies are documentaries and I have the habit of watching short documentaries while doing the dishes, makes me feel like I am using my time better!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in this crazy world seems really amazing for me. I don't know what's considered amazing for the rest.

Teach, Learn, Share

Couchsurfing is all about it. Teach about your home country from your perspective, show people that it's not how its seem on tv. Teach about your people, your language, food habits. Learn about the country you're in, seeing it is much better than newspaper says, maybe learn some recipe to cook later. And both you and your host share what you've learned.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Nice talks, night talks, positive vibrations, good music, great food, some portuguese words, some philosophycal talks about life and universe haha
I would really like to cook something for the ones that host me, as I did for my guests when they were here with me. For me this ~sharing food~ moment is a magical thing.
I can teach some vegan recipes, can give some photograph lessons too.
