Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
travel as much as possible and see the world with my own eyes! ;)
ABOUT ME
"A man needs to travel to places he doesn't know to break this arrogance that makes us see the world as we imagine, and not just how it is or how it can be." ("Endless sea"- Amyr Klink)
PHILOSOPHY
To be able to have wings and roots and to pass that forward.
One should have their safe spot, their steady friends, their culture, their roots, their loved one.. but should also be able to fly on their own in order to be carried towards their dreams, experience new things and finally be able to learn and give the much needed value to their roots.
"Every hundred feet the world changes, and so do we"
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am happy to show you the city, teach you a little bit of brazil and the brazilian country.. give you travel tips, go have a beer, have a brazilian meal.. anything really! as long as you are friendly ;) heheh I am also really interested in learning a bit more about your culture so dont hesitate in teaching me!!
We now may be able to accommodate you if we are in town and don't have friends over - so feel free to ask!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Surfing someone's couch is an unique experience.. You are able to really experience a (maybe) very different culture than yours.. I have had the great pleasure to go skiing with some good friends I made while surfing their couch. They showed me around, treated me like family... I hope I have the chance to do the same w/ some of you!
I have also participed showing my city around to a few surfers who have contacted me and all of them were really great people! I have had only great experiences actually.

What I Can Share with Hosts
I live with my boyfriend jut by the Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas. It's a really nice área to ride a bike to the beach or to relax whatching the sunset.
