Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I love life, and it loves me back.
ABOUT ME
I'm optimistic, easy going and fun. I'm also the adoptive mom to a 4-year old, Davi. In 2012, I quit a 15-year career as a lawyer to become a full-time writer and life/lifestyle design Coach (yes, you can have a free Life Change Strategic Session!). I write (in Portuguese) at www.facebook.com/MyBetterLife.
I'm also a passionate runner, piano player/singer-songwriter and painter. I can spend my time just snuggling with a book or bar hopping, I'm always in for a new adventure!
I have always loved to travel/host and meet new people, and I love to learn new life hacking tips from people from all over the world. :)
PHILOSOPHY
I think life is a multitude of small choices we make every day. We can either make them consciously or not. Every day you have a second chance. You can change.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm pretty new to CS, but hopefully will be able to both host and surf soon! :)
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've lived in Rio, São Paulo and NYC and I've always had many guests, though not through CS. I have also couchsurfed many times. For me, the greatest thing about CS is to be in a real home and interact with interesting people.
