Hi there! My name is Michelle and I am Speech Language Pathologist and I work as a professor in a Federal University, where I teach about voice disorders and rehabilitation of voice and swallowing disorders after head and neck cancer. I love to travel, music, photography, going out and making new friends. :))
I have been hosting foreigners for a few months, but I already have shared my apartment with people from Brazil and Germany. And I love to share experiences, show my city and have good moments with people that I just met.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. I am not here looking for sex.
2. If you wanna have sex, use Tinder, not CS.

I truly believe that everyone has something to learn and everyone has something to teach. That's why I’m on Couchsurfing.
“There is a purpose for everyone you meet. Some people will test you, some will use you, some will bring out the best in you, but everyone will teach you something about yourself. Both positive and negative relationships teach you valuable lessons. This is an incredible step toward expanding your consciousness. The road to self-discovery requires help from others. As humans we are always seeking feedback and approval from others. That is how we learn and become better as individuals. No relationship is a waste of time. The wrong ones teach you the lessons that prepare you for the right ones. Appreciate everyone that enters your life because they are contributing to your growth and happiness.”
