Overview
About Me
Until here, I enjoyed my 22 years very well. Almost always, I have used them on my behalf to hang out with friends, be pleased by the love of my family, read, listen to brazilian music, swimming and gather small pleasures in order to be happy.
Now, I am living in Switzerland, in the city of Lucerne and I saw snow for the first time :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I learn a lot from people. Always trying to end each day with a new knowledge. I also learn a lot from landscapes and cities. I like to discover the new and make it part of the routine. And that's what drives me.
Interests
I like to know about people's lives, listen to their stories and share mine as well. I like to see photos, to listen to music in random mode and, of course, to visit and revisit places.
Music, Movies, and Books
I am very fond of the music of my country and I believe that brazilian music is one of the most complete and innovative in the world. I can show you some if you want and I'm sure you won't regret it. ;) Samba, Frevo, Bossa Nova, Forro, Chico Buarque, Maracatu, Bolero, Tropicalia.
It is always complicated to create a list with favorite books, but it would be cowardly not to admit the influence that Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Virginia Wolf, Giorgos Seferis, Tagore, Cortazar, Machado de Assis, W. G. Sebald and so many others have over me.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Ride from south to north in Central Greece.
4 day hike through one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in Brazil.
Listen to stories of the elderly in a rest home.
Presiding a junior enterprise.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share the brazilian culture in which I was raised - habits, music, books and even portuguese classes and some typical dishes, although I am not a good chef hehe.
I can also share my experiences while living in Switzerland and in the trips I have taken.
I share an attentive ear, curiosity and energy!
