About Me

It's difficult to write about ourself... I am a friendly person. I like to see the better side of the things, even not always it's posible. I am a little funny, I like to see people laugh. But I am also calm.

I love travel and know people from deferents cultures. But I also love to be in my home, seeing a movie or just be with my dog in a park.

I always promise myself that I will meditate everyday, but I never do. It's a kind of gyms.

I love art. I am Civil Engineer, I made a Master in Brazilian's Art Barroc, Master in Culture and Tourism and Doctor Degree in Tourism Development about the problems in heritage towns. Now I am finishing Architecture and Urbanism. I hope when you read that, I already finish. p

I work with heritage and restoration of old monuments. I don't do that myself, I organize to that happened and fiscalize the work.

The Doctor Degree, I made in Málaga in Spain. It should be 4 years, but I had been there during 6 years. It's my second home. (My spanish is better than my english).

I am very independent, but I like to be with people. I've been already in many places travel by myself. But know I am traveling with my boyfriend. He's a very lovely person and he like much more parties than me. ;-). I leave by myself, but he receive the guests in his home. His home is bigger than mine and I have a big dog.

About receive, It's nice for us if you are a little independent or if you come with a friend because not always we have time to go around. But we help what we can and we love a lot to know new people.

We just enter in couch surf, and never been as guest. Until now we only receive. But we will try in our next trip. We will be happy to travel like this. To be with the people that live in the place will be very nice.

Music, Movies, and Books

I believe I like many styles of songs. I love brazilian song like Bossa Nova, that's a kind of jazz with samba. The kind of person that like since Aretha Franklin, Nina Simone until Astor Piazzola and Villa Lobos, with rock between than, The Doors, Beatles, Rita Lee...

Book, I love fantastic realismo like Gabriel Garcia Marques and Mário Vargas Losa. And also like a lot the style of Gay Talese, for me is like a mix of romance and journalism.

I love movies. I made a Master in Documentary in ESCAC in Barcelona during 4 months. But I ve never really work with that. I just like to see, special about history.

Now I am enjoying series. But that's new from me. I stopped to see tv and begin with that. I like one about Vikings.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I finish my first graduation, I went around the world during 10 months by myself. I ve been two months in Belgrade doing a traineeship, than I got 4 months in London working as waitress and save money to spend 3 months in India, Bali, Thailandia and one week more in Singapore. I went back to London during 3 weeks and went home in Brasil. That was amazing experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have to say that usually my boyfriend had receive in their home. It is a student place, they call republica here. It's a very nice place. Live 8 students and always there is people in home and a lot of parties. Than I believe it's better for who travel. I work a lot, but I try to be the host to go around. And also sometimes came girls traveling alone, than I believe some of than feel more confortable when see that I am together.
