CURRENT MISSION

Love sharing, to make every moment worth it.

ABOUT ME

It's hard to write about myself...I'm a laid-back person, easygoing... I like having experiences that can provide me a better understanding of life, like meeting new people and traveling. I don't drink alcohol, don't smoke... I love music, dancing, singing, reading, people, family and God.

I am currently taking my master's degree now which has been a real struggle but at the same time it's definitely been a life event. I have been learning things that I will be taking with me forever. I work with gymnastics. I am a coach of the Aerobic Gymnastics National Team and I am the Strength and Conditioning coach of the Artistic and Trampoline Gymnastics at a sports club where I live. In addition to this, I am a professional dancer and teach at a school where I am the Artistic Director as well.

So... as you can see there is always a lot going on and I love it, even though sometimes all I want is just some chill time.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that everything is good on the path of evolution. It just depends on how you take advantage of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's just incredible what this community is... I have gotten so much from it which I will be forever grateful... and every time I have a new CS experience it's just amazing. The sharing experience, back and forth is always inspiring. Thank you CS!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted only one person (will definitely host more when I live in a place that makes it possible) and I have surfed many couches around the US where I had most of the best experiences of my life and met great friends! I also often go to CS events near me, like potlucks and hikes (my favorites).

Music, Movies, and Books

I love animated movies lol - seriously, they are my favorite. But in generaI like movies that really catch my attention! I don't like watching horror and bloody movies, HAHA.

I have a crush on music!! Who doesn't? If there is something that really touches me in a deep way, this is music. I like listening to all kinds of music. There are just some types that I can't listen for a long time... but it doesn't mean I don't like it.

I LOVE DANCING!!! It's all about living the music. I dance and teach Forró (typical Brazilian dance) professionally, but I also dance Zouk, Samba, Salsa, Tango and West Coast Swing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There was this dance performance in Brazil that I will never forget. There is so much in it... I can share with you.
I was a professional swimmer. I consider this an amazing thing not because of me at all, but because it built my personality, taught me life values and is responsible for a large percentage of the person I am today.
I went to Christ Redeemer in Rio, and honestly... it's amazing.
I went skydiving.
I went scubadiving.
I lived and EXPLORED Hawaii!
There was also this first time I coached the Aerobic Gymnastics national team at a World Championships...
I wanna write more things in here but I can also share more experiences with you in person!!!
