About Me

Outgoing, talkative, funny and friendly college student girl, who loves getting to know new people, cultures and different worldviews. People use to say i'm very emphatic, sensible and a great advicer! I'm also a writer, so my purse usually is full of papers and pencils.

I'm a great defender of gender equality and I fight strongly against speciesism. I'm totally against any form of racist, homophobic or xenophobic discourse.

In terms of spirituality, I believe in many things for their beauty, not for the pretense of finding them true. I like astrology and cartomancy, for example, and have a huge interest on rituals. I am passionate about the sky and feel a deep connection with the Moon - and for that reason I just love nights of full moon and balconies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll let John Donne answer this question for me:

''No man is an island,
Entire of itself,
Every man is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less.
As well as if a promontory were.
As well as if a manor of thy friend's
Or of thine own were:
Any man's death diminishes me,
Because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.''

In other words, there are multiple fragments that I should look for, stepping out of my house and reaching up to new experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Inca Trail to Machu Picchu!

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe I have a lot to contribute to people and even more to acquire with them.

I can teach you, for example, about brazilian culture - songs, movies, books, politics -, creative writing (fundamentals), astrology, international relations and so many other thoughts! I would love to learn more about your culture, life style and worldview! Seriously, we can talk about anything!

What I Can Share with Hosts

human experience: from dreams and desires (as well as thoughts and mysticisms) to academic experience and intellectual baggage.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Chile, Peru, Uruguay
