About Me

Extrovert, curious, loud.

CURRENT MISSION

to keep the child alive while growing up, always see the bright side, and smile all the times, specially in the most difficult times
Dance more, sing more, smile more and love more

ABOUT ME

I love to dance ballet!
I actually like to dance anything, really, lets dance!
I like to sing all the time and make jokes in inappropriate moments. I also laugh and talk very loud, sorry.
I am a very positive person.

Moving from time to time, born and rased in the state of São Paulo in Brazil, but lived for many years in an old German/italian colony called Blumenau in the south of the country. And ended studying in Florianópolis.
I lived and worked in many different places, with many different people, Brazil (Säo José dos Campos, Timbó, Blumenau, Pomerode, Florianópolis), Germany(Bielefeld, Berlin, Erlangen, currently Bremen) and Austria(Reutte). I had the chance to host people in almost all those cities I lived.

I like to get to know people, it means I will have long conversations with my guests and hosts, make a lot of questions, try to speak or learn their language and let them in. I will listen to them and be respectful and appreciate their time. This is why I love couchsurfing, and why I will try my best to stay with people who read this. Please tell me your favorite fruit or your favorite holiday when you send me a couch request if you really want to be hosted by me.

PHILOSOPHY

Growing old is mandatory, but growing up is optional :)
Don't do to other people what you don't want people to do with you

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I open my house and my heart, and I expect people to do the same for me.
I can describe couchsurfing in three words: respect, gratitude and love
I would like to point out I hate copy paste resquests, CS is not about a free place to sleep and not a dating app.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In 2013 I surfed alone for a month in Italy, met so many great people, that it changed the way I see travelling. I never had a bad experience.
I've been doing this for so long, i collected many stories in the past six years. I also lived in many cities and hosted everywhere I lived. I appreciate the clean guests the most.
