About Me

English bellow.
Sou uma professora de inglês que ama viajar. Aprendi com meu pai, mas hoje meu companheiro de viagens é meu marido. No entanto, amo fazer algumas viagens sozinha também. Gosto de viagens improvisadas, sem roteiro definido, pra poder ter experiencia com as pessoas por onde passar. Até agora, pouco a pouco, já conheci a América latina do México até Argentina, fora minhas viagens pelo Brasil, meu lugar favorito nesse mundo todo.
Compartilho minha paixão por viagens num blog e no instagram @papoviagemblog

I'm an English Language Teacher who loves to travel. I've learned to love travelling from my father, but nowadays my travel partner is my husband. However, I love travelling by myself as well. I like spontaneous trips. No script or pre-planned itineraries, so we may have encounters with people wherever we pass by. So far, little by little, I have visited Latin America from Mexico to Argentina. Not to mention my trips in Brasil, my own country and favorite place on Earth. I share my passion for travelling on a blog and on Instagram @papoviagemblog

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Engish bellow
Eu amo samba e musica brasileira em geral. Não tenho muito conhecimento e formação em musica estrangeira, o que é bem vergonhoso considerando que sou professora de inglês.
Agora quanto a livros e filmes é mais fácil. Como estudei literatura todo assunto sobre livros e cultura me interessa. Meu trabalho no mestrado foi sobre Literatura de Viagem, juntando duas coisas que amo.

I love samba and Brazilian music in general. I'm not too acquainted to foreign musica, which is a bit embarrassing considering that I'm an English Language Teacher. But I've been working on that and I quite now the most famous singers and bands (although they continue not to be my favorite).
Now when it comes to books and movies it's easier. Since I studied Literature, any conversation about books and culture interests me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Pra mim o incrível é viver o cotidiano. Citando o grande bardo cearense Belchior: "meu delírio é a experiência com coisas reais."

To me the most incredible is to live the daily life. Quoting a Brazilian songwriter, Belchior: the experience with actual things is what gets me high. (of course it sounds much more poetic in Portuguese. sorry!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

English bellow
Honestamente não tenho habilidades excepcionais na cozinha ou na faxina, mas obviamente sei contribuir com nesse quesito mesmo não sendo talentosa.
Acredito que o que posso oferecer de melhor é a troca de experiencia cultural. Gosto muito de conversar sobre historia e cultura do meus país e ouvir também. Gosto de apresentar meu país.

To be honest I don't actually have exceptional habilities at the kitchen or cleaning, but I can obviously contribute to make it happen, even not being very much skilled.
I believe What I can offer is the cultural exchange experience. I enjoy very much to talk about my country's history and culture, as well as to listen to others'. I like to introduce and represent my country (and city).
