I am an easy-going and open-minded person. I have great passion for African arts and cultures.
After 13 years living in Sao Paulo and 5 years in Paris, I am currently living in Juiz de Fora, a city where I was born and where my family lives. I plan to live in this city until I finish my thesis in African art history in 2020. After that I will probably live somewhere else, I still don't know if it will be in Brazil or in another country.
I travel a lot, especially if I have the opportunity to combine language learning, research, leisure and friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new on CS! I am very excited about the possibilities of meeting new people and places. Or even go back to places I've been and look at them from other perspectives...

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to improve my English and can help you to practice French and Portuguese (I've worked as a French teacher for several years). I can also share my knowledge on African arts and Brazilian art and culture and also about the places where I've been or I've lived.
