About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Resist reification.

ABOUT ME

As you may already have noticed, I'm a Brazilian girl. But it's always easier to start with the obvious, right? :o)
I've studied Literature at College, which means that I simply love reading. Amongst my other passions are Cinema and Music, specially Samba and MPB. On my free time, I like to sit around a table with my friends, have some beer and laugh, laugh, laugh. I adore traveling and meeting new people, getting to know places and cultures, that's why I'm here!

Well, I'm not very talented when talking about myself, so, I guess that in order to learn more about me, you'll have to accept my request! :P

PHILOSOPHY

I'm still figuring it out... But I don't like Capitalism and the reification it reinforces.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I don't host, I try to give these crazy gringos a warm welcome and make them feel at home here in Sampa.

Besides, I deeply respect everyone who opens their houses to me, and hope to live very pleasant and memorable moments by their side.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Until now, I have couch surfed three times and it has been an amazing experience!
It's fantastic to feel that people still do nice things without thinking of money and their personal interests. I guess the world has a lot to learn from the CS project!
