About Me

✈️Currently traveling around Europe✈️

I was born in the south of Bahia (Brazil) and as a child I moved to the capital, Salvador - the first capital of Brazil -. Since I was a child, my biggest dream has always been to travel around the world 🦋and this dream shaped my life choices.
I am a naturally peaceful person and I appreciate everything that brings me peace! I strongly believe in the power of gratitude and positive thinking. I am happy, communicative, high-spirited, understanding, courageous and adventurous.

My philosophy of life is to be optimistic, to believe that good prevails, and that each person has the ability to act with kindness and positively influence the world around them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing represents for me a space for human, cultural and value exchange, as it allows for a more authentic connection with people around the world, as well as a way to experience new cultures in a more intimate and human way, based on trust and the exchange of experiences.

In this environment, I can find an opportunity to offer hospitality in a respectful way, while learning from other travelers and sharing moments of gratitude and connection, by receiving or being received in an ethical and caring way.

Interests

My favourite hobbies include Reading, meditating, learning a new language, playing outdoor sports like walking, running and cycling, socializing in groups and I also like being alone with myself for personal moments of self-reflection.
