I'm a 26 years old italo-brazilian woman. I am graduated in Advertising and specialized in Social History of Art. Also I'm a portrait photographer, working with it or not, I love to do it.

I'm a very easy laughing person and very easy going. I'm a open minded person, but that doesn't mean that I don't have my mind set for how I live my life, because after all, there is something called caracter and I like when people has it, so I believe I have that as well :) Usually when people don't know me, they think I'm very serious and bitchy. That can be true :P, but once you get to know me, you'll see that I'm very sociable, I promise.
I love hanging out, having conversations and listen to good music, grab a good cup of coffee anywhere, get to know beautiful places and meet good people.

Those things said, you must know that I highly appreciate small and simple things in life, I hate lies and non compromised people, especially in the small matters (that's when you see the real deal), and I believe in God (truly, I'm a calvinist protestant -- and so I understand the importance of respecting others, so don't be afraid of talking beliefs with me, once you're respectful as well).

If you're interested, I have my own website where I publish my photoshoots and also daily and trip photos:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to spend quality time with local people, being able to know the city at its most. Not to spend the night with hosts or anybody else or using as a tinder just FYI.

Interests

I am a very visual person, so I tend to be delightful with pretty things. I am passionate about art (meaning art as history of art like painting, sculptures, everything you see in a museum, until modern art, anything after it it's hard for me to digest). Also I have a great interest with fashion, having that as a reference for my personal life and also for work. I am a very nostalgic person, so I am in love with everything that is vintage, old, relic, historical, whatever you name it, and I'm constantly searching and seeing things like that (I have tons of images saved for references or just because I want to look at them every other day, that's why I have Pinterest, Tumblr and also I use a lot of Instagram). I love to photograph, love languages and so I want to learn more, and also I'm crazy about traveling, the list of places to go is very long :)

Food wise, I am the biggest fan of breakfast and I could have it as every meal. I love coffee, meaning that I love hanging out in coffee shops and cozy places. I have a really good chef in my life (my dad) so I'm used to eat very well and with quality, so no shitty food around here :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I loooove watching movies and series. If you don’t, I’ll think you’re a weirdo. Music I am always listening to something (I have a very active Spotify account, so I'm up for any music recommendations) and books I read more when I’m studying.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Couchsurfing.
- Getting my bag robbed in Bergamo's airport with my passport, all of my money, 3 cameras and 4h later, the police return everything to me after they catched the guy.
- Travel 14h in bus to a city with no telefone signal in a creepy German hotel for the weekend.
- Lived 6 months in a bio cheesemaking farm in the alps.
- Being much more easy going with everything in life :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't think is possible for me to make a list of what I can teach, learn and share, but I believe that we all should be willing to do so once we have great conversations and meet great people from all over. And then discover what we can really teach in that moment, learn with that person, and share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good talk about aaaanything you want.
I don’t eat and drink a lot, so no loss for you, guys.
I’m clean and organized, I promise.
