Overview
About Me
I'm a law student from Brazil who took part in an Erasmus programme in Coimbra, Portugal from February to June, 2015.
I used to be an English teacher for kids, teenagers and adult people, so I think I can get along very well with every age. Unfortunately, I had to quit the job last year, but the art of teaching is something I intend to keep doing in the future.
I'm looking for some nice and different experiences in order to enjoy each second in this amazing continent. It's my first time abroad and I've never been away from my family from Brazil, so, everything is pretty new for me here. In my country, I live with my parents and my sister, only. I wish we could have a pet, but unfortunately that dream of mine was never fulfilled... I think that's why I love animals so much, so it won't be a problem for me if you have lots of them :)
I'm a 20 years old girl who loves cooking, eating, reading, travelling, partying and experimenting all the new situations life offers me.
I believe in a life you have to enjoy each moment as a gift, because that moment may never happens again. So, let's try the new!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I haven't heard about couchsurfing until I arrived in Europe in February, 2015. Some friends of mine told me it was a new, easier and cheaper way to travel, which can make you try different experiences all at once: meeting new people and their routines while visiting different coutries and their cultures.
Interests
I'm very keen on making new friends and contacts around the world and learning about different cultures and ways of living.

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm very eclectic, but rock 'n' roll is my favourite kind of music! It doesn't mean I don't listen to other genders, whereas my playlist is random enough to prove that I like all type of music as long as it makes me happy, excited or relaxed.
I'm a potterhead, so the harry potter books will always be my favourite ones, because they've been with me during my entire childhood and it means a lot to me. I also like drama and adventure books. Actually, I'm interested in all kind of reading, since it keeps my attention till the last page.
As for the movies, I'm interested in drama, romance, horror, adventure and comedy... It depends on my mood, but a good movie can be watched at any time and mood, so I accept recommendations :)
I'm also a TV series fan! At the moment, I'm following Game of Thrones, Pretty Little Liars, Glee, True Detective and That 70's Show. And I've already watched The Office, Dexter, Death Note and American Horror Story.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I spent a night in Sahara desert, singing and talking with some friends, while we were lied down on the sand. It was a beautiful night by the stars and moon light!
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm not an experienced traveller since it's my first time abroad, but everyone has their first times in life, so let's face those adventures, so that I'll have a lot to tell and share.
But, we can't forget where I'm from... A country full of diversity and a very rich culture, which I intend to show you with some typical dishes, some stories and experiences of living in the summer during 365 days per year (yea, I live in Cuiabá, one of the hottest cities in Brazil, or maybe, the hottest one).
