Like any latin people and any brazilian, I'm a mix of cultures. Born first as Latina, second as Brazilian, third as Spanish (due my both mother's and father's family sides), fourth as Gipsy (from my great grandmother side), and five as Citizen of the World. Besides that, I've been working with Human Rights and Migrants and Refugees for a long time, so meet new people, travel and know new cultures are part of my life and definitely a passion. I'm also an Artist, a Poet and a Writer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept under a 180° sky view of stars and shooting stars in Salar de Uyuni (Bolivia).

My first glimpse into the grandeur of Machu Picchu (Peru) after the haze has gone and the sun began to rise.

Travel for fiften days only through deserts and, after walk the Reserva Nacional de Paracas (Peru)'s sand dunes, finally get to the Pacific Ocean for the first time and meet a red sand beach.

Watch the sunset in Valle de la Luna (Chile) under the sound of violinists playing live.

Witness the sun on one side of the sky and the moon on another divided by a rainbow in Punta del Diablo (Uruguay).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach english, portuguese or spanish. I can tell many real stories about the people I meet from all over the world and share many fictional ones about legends and myths from different cultures. I can write you a poem.

What I Can Share with Hosts

In addition to what I have already mentioned, I can give very good travel and touristic tips about Brazil and Latin America. And bake a really good banana cake with Brazilian coffee and some tortillas.
