Overview
About Me
I'm an easy going, communicative, humorous and prestative person, thirsty for living experiences and with a positive view of life.
I believe this life is made for all of us to be happy, and I'm constantly building happiness, for me and, if I can do something about it, for the ones around me. I'm a person looking for self knowledge, and I believe that contact with others and with nature is the key for that.
I like to be with family and friends, and making new ones. I like to listen and tell histories about life.
I'm used to recognize moments of wonder, like in a nice talk, in enjoying a gig, in the first taste of a cold beer, in staring at nature, in riding a motorcycle.
So, I can tell I'm a wanderer and a wonder moments hunter. I would be really glad to tell more about work, studies, hobbies and life style, personally, if possible!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like to travel since I was a child!
Although I do it way less than I wished, travelling is the best way to know different cultures, life styles, points of view, and the best way to know other people and to know yourself.
I've first heard about CS when I was a teenager and a scout girl. I remember I was fascinated with the idea of hosting and staying with people around the world. As a scout girl, I was used with the idea, but in my mind it was closed for the World Scout Community.
So, as a grow young woman, that idea still amazes me!
I'm on CS to know different people and to live different experiences. I believe the best way to know any place is by knowing with the ones who live there. So here I am to offer and live experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share
I've chosen to study Environmental Chemistry at college, with the intention to understand and to do my part to the wellness of environment.
In my years of college, I made part of a Scout Group, as a volunteer. I worked with young boys and girls, in theirs 15-17 years old. And there I realized I love and I'm good at teaching. Now I'm studying to be a Chemistry teacher.
My intention is to get a Master Degree in Education after college. I live in a country where Education is a big problem, left aside by the Government. I want to become a teacher to help people, those who need it more, to believe in theirselves.
I believe everyone, everywhere, has something to learn and to teach. And every little experience and contact can be the teacher we need.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Some positive view and energy, a nice candy called brigadeiro, some histories about my life and a great willing to live and learn!
