A Brazilian girl with the thirst of traveling the world, meeting new people and visiting all the amazing cultures all around the globe.
I graduated in psychology last year, after studying for five years, I felt identified with the areas of mental health, psychoanalysis and social psychology in which I intend to pursue a career.
From my teens I felt the urge to know the world and people. And I would like to do it as genuinely as possible, not just commercially.
I am an outgoing and open minded person, I like to talk, but I also respect the space and differences of each other, and this is what makes the exchange interesting, each person is a universe, it fascinates me.
When I travel, I try to know a little about everything, the history, culture, music, cuisine and the arts of each place. This doesn't exclude knowing the nightlife and going to concerts, parties, bars or pubs sometimes.
I try to make the couchsurfing experience as easy as possible, whether hosting or being hosted, I always prefer to dialogue and adjust things so that it is interesting for both parties.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined couchsurfing for several reasons. First because I like to meet people and their different ways of existing in the world. From this, I am more interested in this kind of experience where I can live a little the daily life of a place, or being able to provide it to someone. Although I can afford a hostel, I don't want to travel just to make photos, but maybe friends.

Interests

I'm interested in everything new! I like learning, like to experience everything intensely, from best to worst, especially if is sharing with people.
My interests are very wide, I enjoy having sensible conversations about politics and philosophy as much as telling funny stories and having relaxed moments.
I love writing, although I have an ambivalent relationship of love and hate with what I write hahah, some narratives and some poems. Sometimes when I feel inspired, I also draw and paint watercolor (which doesn't mean I do it well, but the important thing is to do what makes us feel good, isn't it?)

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm very eclectic, I hear from classical music to rock, it depends on my time.

My musical brainstorm: Arctic Monkeys, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Killers, Alt+J, Kings of Leon, The Strokes, Beatles, Tears for Fears, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, Amy Winehouse, Beirut, Bob Dylan, Coldplay, Florence + the machine, Carla Bruni, Mayra Andrade... And many other things in Brazilian music.

Books:

My preference for literature is in the authors who can express in their own style the dilemmas of human nature, whether in a novel, a classic or an essay. What binds me in the book is sincerity and uniqueness. My favorite writers include: Clarice Lispector, Elena Ferrante, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Sandor Marai, Machado de Assis, Virginia Wolf, Kafka, Leminsky.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In December, 2015 I traveled to Rio de Janeiro with a friend for the first time. We had no money, made a sign with the destination and went to the road, we traveled the 8 hours ride, and then came back after staying 15 days there hosted by these amazing people we've found on couchsurfing, meeting people and stories. That's when I fell in love even more with traveling.

Teach, Learn, Share

Thirst of learning all about new cultures, without any pre-made judgment. Believe that sharing culture is one of the richest ways to learn, teach and share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am proud of the culture of my country (although we are going through a bad time), and it is always a pleasure to be able to share my gaze on it. Besides, I love to cook and make Brazilian drinks! I'm organized and I make a point of helping with that. I see this as a form of exchange and gratitude. I am a good listener, and I have good stories to tell when there is trust and harmony.
