CURRENT MISSION

Learn new languages

ABOUT ME

I'm interested in discovering the world and the things it has to offer. I've been in Europe before, Spain, France, Italy and Czech Republic. I've been also in Canada and USA. I can communicate in English, French, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. I really enjoy learning new languages, so I started learning Latin and Arabic. I study law at the Federal University of Bahia. I also make lithographic course at the Modern Arts Museum of Bahia. I've joined the AIESEC Edison Project in Pilsen, Czech Republic, going to 5 different high schools, talking about cultural diversity and global issues. I want to become a diplomat.

PHILOSOPHY

Peace and Tranquility. Good vibrations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By now, I've mostly received people at my place but I also could meet many people in consequence of these new friends I've made.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I really like CS! It gave me the opportunity of meeting so many nice people, I've been learning a lot, even about my own city! Places here that I've never been and that are great!

Interests

Literature, paintings, sculptures... Arts in general. I enjoy to be in touch with nature. I'm opened to new experiences, I like to try new foods, new places, new music...
