*IF WE MEET ON HANGOUT.. I AM MEETING YOU AS A FRIEND. THIS IS NOT A DATING SITE AND I DO NOT WANT TO DATE YOU. DON'T MAKE A MOVE. DON'T PUT YOUR HANDS ON ME. WHY CAN MEN NOT JUST BE RESPECTFUL?! IT IS EXHAUSTING TO KEEP HAVING TO SAY THS.*

Heyo!

What to say about myself..

I'm originally from Brazil, but grew up in London from the age of four. I'm pretty laid back, I like relaxing at home with a good book but also going out on adventures. I am very open minded and accepting of everyone.

My main passions are animal welfare and conservation, which is something I would like to pursue in the future. Opening my own animals sanctuary somewhere in the world is the long term goal.

If you want to learn anything else about me the best way is to meet me (and read my references) :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it's a great way to have incredible travelling experience, meeting awesome people and experiencing places like a local.
