Overview
About Me
I grew up in a mixed culture family: US/Brazil. My siblings live in two different continents from mine. I was born in a farm and lived there until I was 12, then moved to a huge city, Belo Horizonte. I'm 22 years old, studying architecture and just finishing a year abroad in Manchester, UK.
Right now I'm traveling for two months, getting to know a few places in Europe and visiting a few friends before going back to Brazil. Guess it's a good way to star the year!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing is pretty awesome. It is a great way to know people that actually live in the place your visiting and learn from them. And it bases itself on the simple principle of mutual generosity and companionship. It gives us the chance to show the best we have as humans.
Interests
"Creative" stuff, which means pretty much anything, haha. I really enjoy technology, cooking, design, writing, music, and as an aspiring architect I lots of sightseeing and architectural planning. Being from a multicultural house I enjoy traveling and have quite the adventurous spirit.

Music, Movies, and Books
When it comes to music I'm quite eclectic. Been listening lately to Brooke Fraser's new album, Brutal Romantic, also some Sia and Damien Rice. There's loads more but there's no use in putting them here, we can talk more about it personally.
My latest read was The Wise Man's Fear
My current read is a Biography of Rookmaaker
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Bought 1 month worth of traveling tickets after a long day. Guess I wanted to run away. Now it's time to surf.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'd love to learn to sing. And write better also.
I could teach you a bit about architecture and loads of Portuguese, haha.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I love sharing about my past travels but specially of Brazilian culture. And I'd love to cook a bit of our typical food for you.
