I live in São Paulo with my husband, 2 stepsons, a dog, a mouse and a snake... So as you can see, we have a great heart and most people would be welcome. My husby and my oldest stepson know Spanish quite well but almost no English. I speak English, but my Spanish and Italian are a mess (although I'm able to communicate somehow).

We can help you move around if we have time and we will be glad to cook for you. In the evenings and on weekends we like to sit around our backyard table, eat, drink and talk (and you are most invited to have a beer with us!). You can use the house freely (obviously, using good sense), just please don't bring in any strangers without further advice.

Our home is less than a 5-minute walk from a train station in the south zone of the city that connects you to the yellow metro line within 7 stations.

* If you have any special conditions (diabetes/handicap/ allergies/ pregnancy/ vegan/ whatever-that-may-need-something-different), please let us know in advance so we can try to meet your needs anyhow (sugarfree sweeteners/ cruelty-free meals/ a mattress at the ground floor/ warming cuddles etc. :3 )
** We don't host homophobes, chauvinists, racists and any other intolerant group, if you fit this description, you won't feel comfortable with us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I love the idea of a borderless world and embracing the opportunity to meet new people along our journey in this life is always a good way to learn more about ourselves.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A new year's eve on BAs airport, with my husband and a couple of friends. We made a party inviting some travelers we didn't know and the security guard, people from all around the world getting together just like that. When we all felt we would have a lousy new year, we all transformed each others day. To share cultures, to spend time together, to learn from people and to be open for the new: that's the best we could get from life.

Teach, Learn, Share

A bit of drawing, bookbinding, tattooing (at least the few things I know about it) and cooking (vegetarian, Indian, low carb diets and some Brazilian dishes).
