Overview
About Me
I'm a very curious and passionate person, who loves to learn and to meet new people and new places. I walk around with eyes wide opened, trying to catch that beauty of life that will never be found unless you throw yourself into the unknown, full-hearted.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe that the most precious exchanges are those that we can only make by knowing new people. Learning their interests in a new place, their advices and their company are definitely what make a trip unforgettable.
Interests

Music, Movies, and Books
Favorite Music: what a difficult one! I love brazilian rhythms - samba, bossa nova, tropicália, forró -, jazz, blues, rock 'n roll - specially from the 1970's, my dad's fault!
I love Tarantino, French movies, movies that make you think about who we are. Recently I've watched Frances Ha, and I can't get rid of that feeling that I'm living under her skin :)
I love books, but maybe the ones that have touched me the most were Grande Sertão - Veredas (Great Backlands: Tracks, from Guimarães Rosa), Invisible Cities, by Italo Calvino and A Hundred Years of Solitude, by Gabriel García Marquez.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I worked for 3 years in an NGO that tries to fight extreme poverty in Latin America. I think of all amazing experiences of my life, that is the richest one. All the people that I've met, the experience of overcoming your comfortable reality to really know what is around us, all the hard work that always become smiles at the end... No individual experience that I can remember will ever win what that work meant to me.
Teach, Learn, Share
I practice Yoga, play the piano and the ukulele and I love photography and I love to share that with people around me. I love to learn and I'm opened to anything that is new.
What I Can Share with Hosts
At the end of the day, the only thing that we can really offer is ourselves, our stories, our feelings, our curiosity and our talks. And everytime that we share who we are, we become something greater, made by all people with whom we have shared ourselves. I hope I can share whatever experience that can make both our lives a bit greater :)
