CURRENT MISSION

Learn the most I can this semester in Portugal, travel a lot, know many cool people and different cultures.

ABOUT ME

I'm a brazilian girl who is doing a student exchange program in Coimbra, Portugal, and will live here until July 2013.
I am a very quiet person, who likes simple things like reading a good book, watch a movie, have a good conversation, drink a beer or wine with a great food.
But also I have big dreams and a desire to see the world. I think the best thing to travel, more than see beautiful places, is to know different people and cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

"Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Amar!
Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Sofrer!
Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Chorar!
Vai! Vai! Vai! Vai!
Dizer!...

Que eu não sou ninguém de ir
Em conversa de esquecer
A tristeza de um amor
Que passou
Não!
Eu só vou se for prá ver
Uma estrela aparecer
Na manhã de um novo amor..."
Canto de Ossanha - Vinícius de Moraes

"Soy América Latina,
Un pueblo sin piernas, pero que camina

Tú no puedes comprar el viento
Tú no puedes comprar el sol
Tú no puedes comprar la lluvia
Tú no puedes comprar el calor

Tú no puedes comprar las nubes
Tú no puedes comprar los colores
Tú no puedes comprar mi alegría
Tú no puedes comprar mis dolores"
Latinoamerica - Calle 13

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm living in a house of students in Coimbra, Portugal, so unfortunately I can't offer a couch, but I'd be really happy to show the city and the places I know to everyone who wants to visit and also host when I go back to my apartment in Brazil.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but hopefully I'll have some good experiences to write here really soon!
