Overview
About Me
Hi!✌ I'm someone who lives in the U.S. as an Au Pair (exchange program/ live-in nanny) and loves to be in contact with different cultures and people.
Back in Brazil I've graduated in Psychology and then decided to "live" what was in the books I was always reading - it is fun reading about culture, but what about living it? Now I have just started a journey that I've always dreamed of 😜
PS.: I'd love to host - and I will one day. But as I'm an Au Pair in the US I live with my host family so I don't have my own place yet.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on Couchsurfing because of a friend who absolutely advocates couchsurfing and talked me into it (Meiyi Cheng). I think it's a brilliant idea for the ones like me who loves to experiment and share culture and your life experiences ;)
Interests
I love music - although I have no talent for it, just love appreciating others talents; I also love martial arts and have been training brazilian jiu jitsu - and I want to continue with Muay Thai whenever it is possible workwise :); sports - I really like sports, watching it going to games etc but I don't know much about it if you'd ask me heheh Apparently I just started loving hockey after going to a game in Pennsylvania (Flyers🤣); languages - I've been working really hard on my English, but I also know a little bit of Spanish and I'm interested in learning French in the future; LGBTQ.

Music, Movies, and Books
It always changes, so, recently Music has been: Ellie Goulding, Katie Herzig, popular brazilian music (samba, bossa nova), Alternative Rock, Soja, Rebelution, Lorde and Grey's Anatomy Soundtrack. I watch more TV Shows than movies. So, the ones that changed my life are: Grey's Anatomy, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Orange is the New Black, Everybody Hates Chris, Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory and Friends. About movies, my favorites are animated movies and drama. Books: recently I'm reading
