I am a brazilian designer who quit my 6 years job after getting tired of the traffic and heat in Rio de Janeiro. Haha, ok, you can call me crazy.
Now, I live in a small city in Portugal, trying to live easier, healthier and according to what I believe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used Airbnb a couple of times, had great experiences but in the end, people do it for money and sometimes are not very interested in sharing their stories. I believe that there are more good people than bad ones in this world and I'm willing to meet them.

Interests

Travel, of course, and experience every little aspect of the place that I'm visiting: people, public transports, fresh air, music, food...humm, did I mention before how much I love food? It's such an important factor in all cultures, so I love to eat, cook and discover old recipes.

I love animals with all my heart, specially dogs and cats, so if you have a pet, you can have a pet sitter for free.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I sang to approximately 300 people at an open karaoke in Berlin.

Teach, Learn, Share

When I travel, I have the amazing ability of people watching. I can stand at a place all day, meditating, observing, getting to know and understand what it is going on around me. When we take a break to do this, we have great feelings and stories to tell back.

What I Can Share with Hosts

- how to give your dog a massage. Believe me, they will love it! :P
- a very well cooked meal (I will try to succeed with new ingredients I'm not used to! :P)
- caipirinhas!
- a detailed and real perspective of Rio de Janeiro, if you are planning to visit.
