About Me

I'm a student who lives in both Franca and São Paulo, Brazil. All I wish with couchsurfing is to share my home and to get to know people from around the world in their and in my travels.
My philosophy is to extract the good things of life, trying to leave aside the bad things. Enjoying the moments and trying to be happy. I know this world is not fair to everyone and I like talk about what should be blamed for this unfairness. Even though, I always try to look at bright the side!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I mostly surf, but when I'm back to Brazil I'll surely open my house to world surfers! Besides, I'm on Couchsurfing to be kind to people and to get to know them, their experiences and the place that surrounds them, wherever it may be!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed in Amsterdam, Utrecht, Cologne and in Finnish Lapland, it was absolutely awesome! I loved to meet new people and to know their stories :)

Interests

I love to learn foreign languages and to know people that aren't from my region, here in Brazil. I really enjoy going to pubs to have a good time, and have nice conversations on a lot of subjects!

I also love cooking and I try to cook at every opportunity I get.I love making recipes from all around the world!

Besides, what I do love the most is riding my bike all along the streets of São Paulo (and anywhere else in the world!)!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to listen to rock from all the generations, some (heavy) metal, fast and heavy electronic music, the good sounds from Jamaica, Jazz (I need to learn more), Brazilian rap, good old classical music, old MPB (Brazilian popular music) and some Folk music from around the world.

I really like almost all movies that I choose to watch, preferring the intelligent ones, and trying not to be too hollywoody. Also, I dislike terror films, specially the cheesy ones.

I like to read some academic reading of "social" or that has the society, its peoples and its cultures as the theme. And also I do still enjoy some good nostalgic fantasy books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I really enjoyed seeing Stonehenge in England. However, the most beautiful thing I've seen was the northern lights. It is the most marvellous thing I've seen, the dancing magical lights gave me the most amazing feeling!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I (think I) can cook and I can tell lots of different aspects of Brazilian culture and society! :)
