Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

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

Centres d'intérêt

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.
