I'm a Brazilian Music student, which also happens to be an Architect and French Teacher haha

Love Art, diferent cultures and people who are able to respectfully introduce us into original and freeing points of view.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Exchange is one of the greatest things in life. We learn a lot about ourselves with the others.

Interests

Meet new places. New people. Learn new ways of life.

Music. I come from a very musical family. I've been taking singing lessons for a couple of years and now I've just joined one the most appreciated Conservatories in Brazil to study Brazilian and Jazz Singing on a deeper and professional level.

Really like to write, from time to time.

Meditation is something that has been helping me a lot this days.

I really enjoy having nice conversations about almost any subject! Love to learn about people's life and longings.

Traveling all alone.

Teach, Learn, Share
