CURRENT MISSION

Travel, know people and different cultures, have fun.

ABOUT ME

I'm from Brazil but I'll be an au pair in Holland for one year. I really love to travel but I wasn't doing that in Brazil, my home country (but this will change when I'm back). So I made the radical decision to travel abroad for the first time as an au pair, even though I was starting my professional life as a Psychologist there. I just felt like I needed to travel to see the world, meet different people and being an au pair is the fastest oportunity to do that. I've been here in Holland for 6 months already,I've been travelling a lot inside Netherlands. I also went to Belgium and Italy!

More than travelling, I really love life!!! I love to make friends, to talk about life or any other subject =:) I also love music and movies (I don't know how my life would be without them). I try to live one day at a time, to take as much as I can from each day. I consider myself a very easygoing, patient and I never had problems to make friends. I'm optimistic (or I try to be like that) =:)

It's hard to describe yourself like this, because something is always missing. Anyway, from this is a good start to know something about me.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm very simple, I like to enjoy life as much as I can. I think that everybody needs to be sincere and open to communication... these are the most important things in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately I can't host anyone in my house, because is not really mine. I live with a Host family. But I would be glad to have a cup of coffee or tea with any couch surfer curious enough to know Blaricum or the villages nearby (because Blaricum itself is really tiny) =:)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I still consider myself new on CS but I really like the idea. I only couch surfed once, it was a very nice experience.

I hope I can have more CS good experiences soon.
