About Me

I enjoy reading and travelling and I'm a die-hard feminist. Currently, I'm adopting a vegan-oriented lifestyle. Smoking is a bad habit that I often engage in. I love the beach, dancing and I'm a music addicted.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard about CS for the first time while I was researching for a trip that ended up never happening, back in 2009. In the same year I started hosting guests from all over the world and instantly fell for the idea behind it all.

Since then I've been meeting many wonderful, different, interesting, funny, supportive and open-minded people. As a guest, I can only hope to be perceived as such by the hosts which so kindly receive me at their homes.

Interests

My main goal is to gain knowledge about the world by going through many different experiences of social and cultural nature. As a result of this process, I would like to be able to understand my own lifestyle and that of others.

I'm very fond of visiting new places, beaches specially, and also of discussing movies, literature and music, and listening to other people's stories, opinions and arguments.

  • literature
  • vegan
  • rock music
  • reggae music
  • hiking
  • track and field

  • language exchange
  • adventure travel
  • beaches
  • cinema
  • feminism

Music, Movies, and Books

I like rock and reggae in general and traditional brazilian popular music. I'm a little lazy to look for new stuff, but I've been enjoying some things that I listen to accidentally. I watch movies every day, and let's not forget the series! I also read almost daily. My day has 36 hours.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For two years I lived in a small village in one of the most exhuberant beaches of Brazil's northeastern colst called Pipa.
