Overview
About Me
I love travelling, meeting people from different countries and experiencing new cultures. I'm very idealistic. I really think education can change (at least a little bit) of the world's problems, and that's why I decided to be a teacher. I'm easy going, open-minded and patient, a person that you can always count on.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think the best way to experience the life and culture of a place is meeting people who really live there.
Interests
I love dancing (that's a great part of my life)! I love reading good literature, travelling to different places, hiking, learning new languages, listening to music, discussing about life and the world.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love my country and its culture, so my favorite kind of music is "forró", a Brazilian national music (and dance).
My favorite book is called "Covert Joy" by Clarice Lispector (Brazilian writer), but I also love authors such as Oscar Wilde, Thomas Hardy, Bernard Shaw, George Orwell, Tennessee Williams and others.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I crossed Brazil from South to Northeast by car (7 days and amazing views).
I almost got locked inside the Hyde Park, in London, after midnight, while I was trying to get to my hostel. (well, long story...)
Teach, Learn, Share
If you want to learn some Brazilian national dances (such as Samba, for example), I'm the right person to teach you and I'd really love to do it! I used to work as a dance instructor in Brazil and it's one of my passions.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I would love to share my culture and language with my hosts, but, more than that, they will be more than welcome to stay also in my place whenever they want to visit my city.
