Born and raised in the outskirts of Sao Paulo, Brazil, I moved to Florida with my family about 6 years ago and now I'm living in Minnesota as part of a rotational program for my company! As you can guess, I love the beach but my hobbies/interests also include mountain hiking, dancing, photographing, reading and eating local, traditional food.

I'm a constant learn in our ever-changing world so, as a guest, I love meeting locals and learning about the customs and traditions of the place I'm visiting and I always try to learn a bit of the language of the places I go as well. I love listening to music and going to concerts, so whatever type of musical performance happening I will most likely be there :)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

To meet new people and get to know a place by its locals and their customs, languages and maybe even some culinary haha

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Accepted to be part of the paddling crew of the concrete canoe team at USF, helping build and race a canoe of concrete - and yes, it floated! Made amazing memories and met some of my best friends to this day through the experience.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

My curiosity about other cultures and enthusiasm for learning. I'm a pretty good cook and love making "brigadeiros", a Brazilian chocolate treat that will make you fall in love for our culinary. I love talking about things that connect people and learning that we are all equal no matter where we come from.
