About Me

I had the chance to travel a bit in my life, and the experiences I'd had helped me to find myself (sounds cliche, I know, but it's a fact). Travelling I met not only myself but also great friends and a partner for the whole life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and learn with them. Doesn't matter being the host or the guest, getting to know people from different places and cultures... it's very enriching and motivating!

Music, Movies, and Books

Depends on the vibe of the moment..
But that's true that "Love Actually" is my favorite movie ever.
The last book I've read was memorable: "Murmullo de las Abejas", de Sofia Segovia

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Volunteering in the Palarympic Games in Rio was an amazing experience!
- I get married with Bruno in the top of a Mount, Nature as testimonial (back to civilization we formalized it, but our spontaneous commitment in that cave, with the view of primitive Nature was really strong and moving).
- a Travel to Turkey completely by myself
- I challenged my fears and swim few open water challenges

- Handgliding in Rio and paragliding in Floripa
