I'm an energetic, smiling, super creative person.
I was born in Brazil, youngest of 4 siblings. We then moved to Angola and later to Lisbon, Portugal, where I grew up.
I always knew since I was little that I wanted to work in the Arts, but I never exactly knew in what field. I still don't. I can't be satisfied with one thing! So I work in different areas of expertise in the creative world.
I graduated as a graphic designer in Lisbon, but since I couldn't bare staying behind a computer all day long I quit my job and traveled to Los Angeles where I studied theatre and film. Years later I became a Film professor and Theatre coach. I still teach and coach but my main occupation at the moment is by Creative Agency.
Apart from that, I'm very passionate about nature, environmental issues and human rights.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I like to travel! I really do! And when I do I wanna get in touch with the local culture and the people. Otherwise i'd just google the destination and look at the pictures, right?
So I think the best way to meet someone at a certain place is to get in touch first and stay with them. Maybe they will tell me what their life is like, how they grew up, how the local politics work, give me some hints on where to go and if I'm lucky enough they'll be available to join!
Also, I love practicing languages.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I quit my job as a designer to go and study theater in the U.S.
I also opened a my own Creative Agency later, even though I hate numbers and papers and negotiation, and it is turning out fine!
