Overview
About Me
I'm a typical "carioca" (person who was born in Rio, Brazil) girl, I love the beach, I'm easygoing, I feel cold when it's 19 degrees outside, and I always loved walking around the city with my flipflops - life's too short to wear umfortable shoes, am I right?
But I'm also half Portuguese, so since I was a child I had the dream to move out of my confort zone by living in different countries. So when I got my first job, at age 16, I stated to save money. Then, in June 2018, I finally dropped everything that didn't fit in my 2 luggages and started traveling around europe!
I fancy the slow travels, so I did some work-exchange in hostels during the summer, which was an amazing experience! Now I'm planning to travel a little bit more before I start a job in the UK in January. I'm finally ready for my first Couchsurfing experience! :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I know the website and I have an account since 2015, but until now I was never an active member.
First, because I'm a woman and that made me hesitant when I was younger.
Second, because until this year I lived in my parent's house so I couldn't offer my place, and now I'm "homeless" and nomadic! hahaha
Jokes aside, the couchsurfing philosophy has always inpired me, and when I was only dreaming about traveling, I used to reseach for places and read the profiles and reviews, while imagining that someday I would be an active part of it. So now here I am!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Jumped at the biggest commercial bungy of the world at 14.03.2017 - South Africa
- that day seems like it was written by Shonda Rhimes, but I survived.
