I am brazilian, native from Rio and currently living in the northeast of England. I`m peaceful, contemplative, simple and easy going.. usually calm and relaxed, and very patient :) I have a silly sense of humour, enjoy good jokes, and I can easily laugh at myself. I love the simple things in life, and don't need a lot to feel happy.
Nature is essential for me, and I really enjoy being outdoors. Mountains, sea and rivers, wildlife (and animals in general) are my strongest passions.
I try to live as healthy as possible. Clean eating, becoming each day more and more conscious of my habits, working mind and body, etc! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet people from around the world and share experiences and conversations about life. I think CS is a great opportunity to learn many things with and from people. Also, it is a beautiful way to travel , based on trust and gratitude.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living for three years in the Amazon... the most rich experience I've had, I learned so much things about life and myself.
Walking barefoot in the jungle and meeting up with a jaguar less than 20m away!
Seeing the eruption of Villarrica volcano in Chile in the middle of the night

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help anyone who wants to pratice/learn Portuguese or about Brasil.. brazilian culture.. and share all my thoughts and experiences of my long dedication to nature and wildlife. :)

I like to practice and learn new languages and to prepare different kinds of food :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

some meals (I like to cook, simple and comfort food.. I'm vegetarian, by the way :) ), a cup of tea, I also love to show around my hometown (Rio de Janeiro) but also any other place where I might be living (currently, this would be Durham, England!)
