Overview
About Me
I was born and raised in Brazil and I am currently studying chemical engineering in Curitiba, Parana State. I was raised a relatively sheltered life so the only travelling I used to do until my adolescence was as far as my parents were willing to drive. In 2015, I finally got the courage to explore a bit what this magnificent world has to offer and embarked on an exchange program in Australia, where I got the taste for travelling. I’ve been back in Brazil since February 2016 and haven’t had many opportunities to travel, due to work and studies. Now I finally could get some time to embark on a solo journey throught Panama and Costa Rica. The ideia of living out of a backpack in a solo adventure has always made me giddy and I cant wait for the experiences that will come!
I’m pretty chilled, easy-going, open minded and relexed girl. Love a good laugh and meeting new people from around the world.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe the best way to experience culture is with someone who lives it. So I know that being with a local will give me the truest, most raw experience possible.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like whatching action, adventure and crime movies and read about self knowledge and improvement.
As far as music goes I am fond of things from all genres, my favorite being Brazilian samba, rap, reggae and hip hop. But my true passion lies in dancing, so I basically enjoy any song that makes me wanna move. In Brazil, I take ballroom dance classes in salsa, samba, zouk and forró and I love it! I’m looking forward to meet the Caribbean salsa while Im in Panama/costa Rica!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One of the most incredible things I’ve done was the Tongariro Alpine crossing in New Zealand. It was a 10 hours track but I did it! The views were spectacular and at some point I thought I was at the moon such was the view! I felt a tremendous sense of accomplishment!
