CURRENT MISSION

Make the most of every experience.

ABOUT ME

I'm from Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil. But now I live in Porto, Portugal.
I'm a Design student from Federal University of Pernambuco, studying for one year at the University of Porto.

I'm completely in love with my hometown, but I always dreamed about living abroad.
In 2016 I decided to do something about it and applied to study one year as an exchange student in the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto, in Portugal. Now here I am and it's my first time living abroad and not at my parents house (goodbye comfort zone).

I love traveling, food, cooking and eating, design, videogames and watching videos of really cute animals.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn with every experience and see the good side of things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Today, I live with a italian and a brazilian (from a completely different part of Brazil compared to where I'm from). We are always learning about each other culture, so I wanted to go further with that.

I want to make the most of this experience of living a year abroad: traveling a lot, meeting new people, new cultures, food and places.

I'm always available for tea, coffee, fruit juice, beer, wine... I can't always host, because it's common to have the house full, but I hope I can host more when I'm back to Brazil!

Music, Movies, and Books

I think I'm eclectic.

Music
Brazilian music. From Bossa Nova, to independent bands like Boogarins and BaianaSystem.
Lately I'm listening a lot of bands like: Carne Doce, The XX, Alt-J, Kendrick Lamar, Boogarins, Devendra Banhart, Tame Impala, Céu, BaianaSystem, Cage the Elephant, Pabllo Vittar...

Movies
That's difficult, but I like the style of Wes Anderson, Sofia Coppola...

Books
From Harry Potter books to Vidas Secas.
Now I'm reading My Brilliant Friend, from Elena Ferrante.
