About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel, meet new people and enjoy life!

ABOUT ME

Well, all about me is gonna be quite hard.

I love to travel and I do it as often as I can. To think that I can learn about so many different cultures, different people, always trying new things, makes me wanna travel to as many places as I can.

My mum is serbian, my dad brazilian. I feel both, serbian and brazilian.

I really enjoy studying. My first bachelor was in Social Sciences and afterwards I studied Medicine.

Learning new languages fascinates me. And I want to learn and many as I can.

I try to enjoy life as much as I can. I love wine (specially red), going out for dinner and experimenting new food, I love to cook, go to bars, always good to go out with friends and meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

There will always be something new to learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing things always happen when you are travelling, it's hard to say only one. Skydiving in Australia was brilliant. Diving in the Great Barrier was also amazing. Vising small villages in Laos. Teaching in Vietnam. Watching the sunset and sunrise in Coles Bay - Tasmania. My first Carnaval in Olinda. Getting to experience Cuba and meeting people to talk about how life really is there (and admiring Fidel even more). Just being in Serbia is amazing for me, I love Serbia! Being back in Australia after 15 years was just amazing.
