I've always been in love with storytelling and new experiences! That being said, discovering new people around the world could be an awesome opportunity to listen to different stories - and being inspired by them! To describe myself is never easy but I might say that I’m very talkative, open-minded and love to mix deep conversations with some lively debates about Netflix’ shit shows! Of course, I love to make new friends, and I dream about discovering new places as much I can!

I’m currently doing an exchange program in Newcastle, the perfect opportunity to travel, meet locals and listen to new stories!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To discover other people’s cultures and backgrounds - and, of course, make new friends! Locals are always the best guides so I think it’s a good way to have nice tips and company to explore a new city! To meet a “strange” person in a “strange” place may seem crazy but It sounds to me like the best way to have the perfect (and unforgettable!) experience - that’s why I’m trying Couchsurfing! :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've just created my account but I can guarantee that I’m a real (and nice) person! I wanna try new experiences using Couchsurfing, so I would be very grateful if you could host me even though I have no experience. We all gotta start somewhere, right? :) Unfortunately, since I share a really small apartment (just one room) with my two siblings back in Brazil, I have no hosting experience. But, I certainly plan to do it when I move to a bigger place! It will be a pleasure to show my country to new people :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I love to discover new kinds of music and I’m a very opened-mind person regarding this! I’m in love with some Britpop (we can spend hours listening to Oasis or Blur) and I was a crazy Nirvana fan in my teenage time - I know, I was 20 years late, but I still have Kurt Cobain in my cellphone’s wallpaper! Nowadays I like to listen to some pop and indie songs and try a lot of different genres in festivals! My last concerts were 21 Pilots, Portugal The Man, Arctic Monkeys, and James Blunt. Besides that, my new passion is K-pop! It’s crazy how Korea built a whole global industry with their pop music (even their artist not using a “universal” language like English) and how K-pop is not just music, but a whole new experience with dance, concepts and all pieces of songs! I already saw live big groups (like BTS, GOT7, Seventeen, and Monsta X) and I have no regrets about it!

Regarding movies, I’m very eclectic too, so I love nerd things like Harry Potter or The Lord Of The Rings, and also some cult stuff like Dead Poet Society or The Untouchables. I love animation with all my heart, I can watch all Pixar and Studio Ghibli movies on repeat! And I think it’s funny to watch the whole Award Season, with a lot of new movies to cheer for - and right now I can say that I’m completely obsessed with Parasite!

Books: I love classics, in Brazil, we have a lot of good writers like Machado de Assis or Paulo Coelho. Of course, I like epic sagas like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson and the Olympians too. But, above all that, I’m definitely into comics! Graphic Novels! Mangas! Yes, I’m a little bit nerd, and I will love to talk about Death Note or Haikyuu if you like too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don’t know if it’ll be an incredible thing to you but it is a huge thing for me: I’ve interviewed Erno Rubik - yes, the creator of Rubik’s Cube, and yes, he’s alive - and wrote about a Rubik’s Cube World Championship final!

It was crazy 'cause when I was a kid, I learned to solve a Rubik's cube, with my father's influence. Solving cubes has become a family hobby, and now my father and I managed to assemble several different types – it has also turned into something sentimental to me, so I always take one in my bag. On my first day at my dream internship, a huge Brazilian magazine called Superinteressante, I took a cube to put in my work desk. My boss thought it was a curious interest, and I ended up having a chance to cover the São Paulo qualifier of Rubik's Cube World Cup - and, after, the World final in Boston!

I could spend hours telling this story because it was really I dream come true - and, of course, I can teach how to solve the Rubiks’s Cube! Believe me, it’s not as impossible as it seems like!

Teach, Learn, Share

I definitely wanna grow as much as I can with this experience! Listen to new life stories, exercising my empathy and teach good stuff about my origins could also be a way to share good things around the world :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm sorry, I don't know how to cook complex stuff but I know how to do an awesome brigadeiro (a traditional sweet from Brazil) and I'm a good dishwasher! Of course, I'm completely open to learning how to cook your favorites meals if you want to teach me!

But I promise to share happiness, my culture, and good stories - also how to solve the Rubik's Cube if you want!
