About Me

I'm a student from São Paulo living in Rio de Janeiro.

Through Chouchsurfing I've made a lot of friends. Also, many hosts helped me and my friends a lot during our travels. Now that I’m back in Rio (from my exchange in Europe) , I want to do the same! Supporting travelers, showing around and, of course, make new friends and practice the languages I’m learning.

Talkative n friendly, sometimes quite shy and others very happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is an awesome idea!! I hosted and I stayed with some people during my exchange in Europe and I intent to continue doing that in my next trips. I love the idea of meeting new n interesting locals and travellers every time I go abroad, doing that I can get a better feeling of the city . Also, I like hosting people, give my time and show them around and share experiences.

Just hangout is also very cool!!

Interests

  • learning languages
  • meeting people
  • different cultures

Music, Movies, and Books

Lima Barreto, Jorge Amado, José Saramago, Paulo Coelho...

I know that it doesn't sound cool but I’m not a great reader... I'm doing my best to change it. 10 books/year is my target. Do you think it's enough? or it's just pathetic? if you wanna be hosted answer this question.. Also I am looking for different vibes and types of music. I'm always up to new songs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learnt how to cook Okonomiyaki in Osaka!!

Teach, Learn, Share

Talk about experiences and especial moments. I can talk about my adventures in Brazil, Africa, Asia and Europe ! During my experiences I could travel, taste foods and lots of drinks! haha

Also I lived in Japan as an exchange student when I was 16. Probably the most life changing year of my life as I gained a second family by heart and a lot of friends. I could improve my Japanese and ate too much okonomiyaki and takoyaki!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share experiences and a good coffee
