About Me

ABOUT ME
Love to walk, to meet newplaces and ways of thinking and being... like to observe smells, textures and sounds of the places i pass by.

I really enjoy cooking and to spend time having a talk, no matter if a small or a deep talking. Also I'm a wine and coffee lover :)

It has been four years I'm developing natural cosmetics as soaps, deodorants, lotions, oils, massage candles... since I started it became a new passion.

I'm originally from Porto Alegre, Brazil. Because of my work I’ve been living in Foz do Iguaçu last 7 years. I’m a very calm person and I enjoy to spend time listening music, reading, cooking, having nice conversations with friends and family, playing with my cats and gardening.

In Brazil my main occupation is as a professor in a quite interesting university focused on Latin America integration, where I teach urban studies and urban planning. Also I researched for a while on urban sounds.

PHILOSOPHY
Its always possible to see a moment, a feeling or object from another perspective.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cause Couchsurfing provides the opportunity to meet and share with interesting people. I've meet a few special friends through the Cs community and I'm sure there are more friends to come <3

Interests

Quite generally, I'm interested in music, literature, sociology, anthropology, cinema, travel, food. Also I'm interested in alternative healing methods such as medicinal herbs, aromatherapy and floral.

I'm cultivating herbs, spices and vegetables in the apartment where I live.
