ABOUT ME

a chubby, ugly, angry and very honest little person...

I love trips, I've traveled a lot in Brazil and I've tried to travel a lot in Europe (the plan didn't work so well... you know, money matters)... But saying that I love to travel is quite a cliché on CS isn't? Something more?! man, I'll try...

I'm bachelor in Geography, and Geography is definitely a passion, that goes right with travelling... I've worked with Cartography for quite some time and in August 2007 I gave up my jobs and decided to go to Europe... From 2007 to 2009 I've worked in Holland, mainly as AuPair/Babysitter (bartender too... housekeeper...). In 2009 I decided to go back studying and started a Master Degree in Coimbra and got back with the Cartography job, also worked as a receptionist on a GuestHouse and as a waitress on a bar/art gallery, both in Coimbra (Portugal)... I also worked a little while as a cook (well, as a helper... the only thing I really did for myself was the risottos and the tiramisù), in a small Italian restaurant, in Pisa (Italy)... I defended my thesis in 2011 and it's all over... I'm back in Brazil now, working as a Geography teacher and have about 400 little trouble makes in my hand...

I'm crazy for long conversations...
I like to go out and party, but I prefer a dinner with friends...
In other hand, I love to go out to walk late in the night (I can not do that in Brazil anymore, sadly)...

so, there's a start...
more?! come over or open your door for me :-)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just had great experiences on couchsurfing... I know people are busy, but I would like you have some time to spend with me... You don't need be around me all the time, this is not the point... But trust me, I read all profiles before ask for a couch, if I'm asking is 'cause I think we can have a good time. And as couchsurfing is not a website just for 'sleep for free', I think you agree with me.
You know that place in the city you really love?! that non-touristic amazing good and cheap restaurant?!
this kind of place I want to know and enjoy with you =)
