***********************************
I am a friendly and open-minded person, inspired by blue skies and ocean waves, sunrises and sunsets, great songs and great books, genuine smiles and passionate people.

I'm always looking for ways to break free from my shell and make the most out of my life.
That's why I love to travel! (Who doesn't, right?)
Get to know other cultures, meet people, explore different places and learn a lot, this is life!

I really get along with talkative people, and I like to think that there's a naturalness of a great listener in me.
But maybe I just enjoy listening to people because I think it is a way of traveling myself through the experiences of others.
Anyway...

I may seem a little bit shy because sometimes I don't say much, but the truth is...
My eyes always speak louder than my voice ever will.
So, don't be afraid to look inside.

If you're willing to find out by yourself, I'm willing to show you my true colors.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

***********************************
I am a member of CS for a while, but only now I feel that I am truly engaged in look for new experiences to refresh my mind.

I first made my profile back in 2013 when I received a scholarship and went to study in Toronto (Canada).
I spent the last few years focusing on my studies and now that I finished my degree I decided that I want more.

More inspiration, more passion, more of life that really matters to me.

So, I'd like to learn and be inspired by people from all over the world, learn new languages, share my experiences, discover the world by myself and make new memories.

Interests

***********************************
As an Industrial Engineer, my interests stem from my desire to understand fundamental aspects of human factors affecting the development of cities.

In my most recent project I investigated the relationship between individual behavior and the transportation mode choice to assess the impact of public policies on urban mobility and sustainable development.

Music, Movies, and Books

♪ I listen to a little bit of everything: MPB (Brazilian Popular Music), Pop, Hip hop, R&B, Rock, Latin Music...

🎥 It's the same about movies: I can enjoy a good comedy (not the silly ones), horror (not the diabolic ones), drama, mystery, romance, science fiction...

📖 As for the books, the thrillers always get my attention.
