About Me

I won't be home (Los Angeles) during springbreak (March 11th - 21st). I'm sorry I can't host you during this time! And also I will have some really hard exams coming late March and April...so I won't have time for anything. I'm moving back to Brazil in June! I still don't know which city I'll live in but you're welcome to go to Brazil =D

I'm a big fan of sports, nature, trips, music, smiles and good vibes!!!!!!!!

I grew up in Brazil playing a lot of sports, riding bikes, rollerblades and skateboards and going to sports events! Every summer vacation I was at the beach....I just can't live without the beach! I spent almost all of my childhood going to my family's little farm where I used to have a lot of animals, a soccer field, a swimming pool and a bike path! I like almost every type of music...it only depends on the moment. And I'm always planning my next trip! =D

I moved to California for my masters degree when I was 23 years old. I will graduate in May 2016 and then I'm moving back to Brazil! I'm living a dream here in America! This country is awesome and it has so many incredible places to visit! I absolutely love Hawaii and Vegas!

The next "dream place" on my list is: Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia! I still don't know how I will make it...but I always follow my dreams! Hopefully I will live there sooner than I expect =D

Feel free to ask me anything! I'm very open minded and I have a great sense of humor!

Peace, love and respect!

ALOHA!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Trip to Hawaii by myself for 11 days during Springbreak. OMG!
- Trip to Hawaii to watch the Pipemasters and for Christmas for 1 month.
- Watch the sky at Pipeline (Hawaii) and see 11 shooting stars.
- Driving the PCH (Highway 1) from San Francisco to Los Angeles for 2 weeks and chasing the sunset everyday! I do have amazing pictures!
- Trip to Vegas on a Tuesday afternoon with my best friend...just because.
- Cruising Hawaii on my friend's convertible...twice.
- Going to Vegas 8 times when I was living in LA.
- Going to San Diego 8 times when I was living in LA.
- Watching the 5th game of Stanley Cups Final (Ice Hockey) live at the Stadium because the Ducks (My team! Go Ducks!) were playing! My friend came to LA from Rio and gave me the ticket! "Surprise!"
- Travelling on a buggy with 4 people for 1 week on the beach - We were able to drive at almost every beach of one Brazilian state (Rio Grande do Norte) and it was absolutely incredible! 90% of the time driving on the sand!
- Travelling 9 hours to go to the beach on a Saturday in Brazil to learn how to surf for a weekend, and then travelling 9 hours back to my hometown because I had classes on Monday.
- Leaving everything behind (23 yo) and moving in to a paradise island called Florianopolis (Brazil) with no place to stay and no job. I found a place to stay on the 3rd day...and a job on the 1st week. I lived there for almost 6 months. It was the first time I was living all by myself and yeah I learnt a LOT.
- Watching EVERY game of Australian Open (Tennis) when I was 14 years old! I was on vacation and the games were usually from 10pm to 4am and then from 6am to 11am. My biggest idol at that time, Marat Safin, won the tournament! AMAZING! Beating Roger Federer on the semi finals and the local Lleyton Hewitt (#1) on the finals!
- Riding rollerblades with a bunch of friends in the middle of Sao Paulo traffic. I would never do that again!
- Travelling to 4 different states during Springbreak 2016 - California, Utah, Arizona and Nevada. Me and my friends went to Zion National Park, Lake Havasu, Palm Springs and Vegas...of course.
