Overview
About Me
I am brazilian. I was born in a amazing city called Curitiba. I am 22 years old and I`ve been studying Agronomy in Piracicaba a small town in the Sao Paulo state. I had the opportunity to do an exchange experience for 7 months in Sweden. I was living in Stockholm and studying at university of Engineer - KTH Royal Institute of Technology. In this trip I had the pleasure of meeting many different cultures and people and I really loved that. I think that the world is too wonderful and big, we should not waste time in thinking to much about our next stop =).
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The reason that I decided to be a couchsurfing it's because is an amazing idea and a way of life. I think that this attitude is well related to words that I trust and that I try to put always in the actions of my life = consideration, gratitude, confidence and sharing.
With the experience in Sweden I learned a word that has a very strong meaning for me right now = `resfeber`, that means an expectation before a trip, addicted of traveling. And I believe that it fits very well in my personality.
Interests
I am interested in people, culture, different stories. I like the nature and the energy that it brings to us, I really like to dance (ballet, contemporany) and I like to help people to find a better way of food production. With my knowledge gained during these 5 years it is more than my responsibility to share the sustainable ways of agriculture production in the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I screamed for 5 minutes in a Tuesday night at 10 p.m. at Lappis accomodation (Universitet - Stockholm). This is a ritual that students have done and was very famous in Brazil haha. It`s weird that nobody comes to see what is going on.
