About Me

CURRENT MISSION

There are just too many worlds in the world for me to stay in one spot for too long

ABOUT ME

For the last 3 years I have been living and working onboard Cruise Ships and working on their Duty Free shops as a shop attendant. Just because its another easy way to travel and meet new/fun people.
Its a 800-people-staff environment - from anywhere you can imagine. Cultural shock is my nirvana.

Im in RIO now dor vacation. Carnival is on the corner and i'll be glad to have people over.

Im a very outgoing girl. All I want right now is to just travel, meet people, learn languages, share experience and enjoy these many things that the world has been hidding from me.

PHILOSOPHY

Tomorrow ia another day - that may never come.
So, no plans, no expectations.
I do what I feel like doing, what you love, what makes me happy.
Enjoy.
No regrets.

Im not looking just for a couch to crash on.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unexperienced. A few friends have been telling me how it works and I'm willing to give it a go. Shall we?

Music, Movies, and Books

From the Brazillian samba and Bossanova, 'til the bouncy pop of Madonna. Eletronic music, some rock... Or anything I can dance to.

Movies - Havent had time to watch many onboard. I watch more short comedy series (The Big Bang Theory, How I met your mother, Friends, The Middle...)

Books - I enjoy more Brazilian/Portuguese authors like Fernando Pessoa, Saramago, Jorge Amado, Veríssimo, Clarice Lispector. Just because a feel better the words as they are in my own language.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quitting a stable well paied job, a home and a fiancé to joing the circus (how I address my Life OnBoard nomad situation). And it was the best decision I have ever made.
