Personal DescriptionOn 1 of January of 1968, was born a baby girl, and contrary to the expectations of my poor mum who was waiting for a baby boy, since I was her fifth girl and my father wanted a baby boy to remain married to her. Just bullshit, cos he was not there with her when I was born. I think I was so anxious that I was born right there in the car en route to the hospital,:0.
I just wanted to show that I was a beautiful, healthy, strong and a brave baby girl, and that was what mattered :].
Anyway my dad left my mum with five girls to take care of herself.
I'll always be grateful and proud to be her daughter, her name is Esther and she is a wonderful woman, courageous and hardworking, she gave us all what she could and she has never depended on anyone.
I wish I had only a little bit of her power.
I grew up in a poor neighborhood, but had a good childhood, I don't know if because of the desire of my parents, but I always played with boys, I always did what the boys liked to do, haha! Until I complete 14 yrs, then my mind started change.
I remember being a nice girl, happy, eager to learn, always smiling, with many friends and they all liked to talk to me, cos I always had a friendly word and did not lose my time with stupid conversation, I played basketball team in school, I didn't lose the physical education classes, I loved it,
I loved rock, Heavy Metal and Brazilian popular music, I loved dance and I started to learn play guitar,
I didn't like drink,
I never ever used any kind of drugs, clean body and clean mind,
I didn't have sex before 16 yr, very estrange for a teenager, I know!
I was very into what I believed, like: politics, religion, science, history, philosophy, to many questions to find answers, that I had no time to do other things. Good for me!:D
I was part of student movements that had been very important to the political changes in Brazil.
I was at the peak of my brain storm and for 2 years,
I deeply enjoyed my teenage time. then I started dating, and somehow my brain storm get silent, everything change and three years later with only 18 years old I got married. With 23 years of age I already had my 3 boys; Junior, Daniel and Rafael.
I really enjoyed them, We used to share learning.
I did many things with them because I liked to share good times with my boys. Together we started doing karate, capoeira, we were going camping, to beach, to play center, to theme park, to ecological park, to botanical garden, to the zoo, meeting other city, travel, etc ...
They grew up and each one is following his own path, I'm still supporting them, but in another way now, Children are for life no matter what happens.
I will always love my boys and while God gives me a breath of life I'll be around if they need me.
In the first years of my relationship was good,
I think because of the intensity and lack of maturity, we got hurt a lot, then began a lack of respect.
We try to fix here and there, we fight to not fall, but all this lost, so after 23 years together, both are tired of trying. Faced with so many conflicts that someone would take a final decision, so I did.
I gave up and started my life again, with my sons of course! One of the things I learned from all this, is that if you're not good with yourself you will not be well with anyone. Things are not easy and you have to fight hard to start all over again.
I was fine,
I had my work, it was my financial independence,
I started making friends, going out to dance, talk again with my old friends that I found through the Internet,
I started doing exercises again,
I was happy with my self.
After eight months of new life, exactly on my birthday and New Year,
I met a very nice guy, 22 years younger, who made me feel something special for someone again. Even with different beliefs and different minds, we were together for 2 and half yrs.
I did learn, many things with him, and after him...
Learning is part of our human growth and while I'm alive, I wanna learn! :P
Words are not enough to describe how I feel about him or what he means in my life...
I can say that we had very good moments, and many arguments too hehe :D
Anyway, it will not erase the magic of our meeting.
At moment I'm studying arts, and living a day at time!
I'm very grateful, for everthing that I had, and have, believing that all things work together for good to them that love God. :))
How I Participate in CSI've been in a CS meeting in Dublin for dinner and loved the food was delicious, especially the chocolate cake, I met many people from other country's there, I really enjoyed this experience and plan to go to other meetings, my schedule of work is heavily loaded and I live far from Dublin, but I can try to help somehow.CouchSurfing Experience Meet in Dublin, and I had two CSer in my house, both was a good experience to me and now I don't wanna stop do it...InterestsMy family, my friends, my pets...

Coach Surfing, of course!!!PhilosophyThe basis of everything and more difficult to do
"LOVE OTHERS AS YOU LOVE YOURSELF"

Book:
Bible to learn more about God...

Many kind of books and magazines,
I like get info...
When you like music, movies, books,
you enjoyed it every day,
so it's very difficult to make a list,
cos, it's a lot! :0
Types of People I enjoySincere people, the humble of heart, the soul of quiet but deep, wise, but not the proud, who has faith, the brave of heart, people who know that the truth can hurt, but that the lie can kill, those who know that human being is not the synonym of perfection, people who know how to respect opposing views, people who understand that nobody is better than anyone, people who understand that love doesn't come with manual of instruction, we learn loving, who doesn't lose hope, who believe in what you have better, who knows that when we are trying to hit, we can also make mistakes ...Teach, Learn, ShareI can teach samba, a bit of Portuguese language, the varieties of Brazilian culture, how to care for plants and animals, how to drive car and motorbike, something about recycling, hydroponics, etc ... I like to share knowledge... :DOne Amazing Thing I've Seen or DoneGive birth and breastfeed, the first steps of a child,
watch the sunrise and sunset on the beaches of Brazil, visit the Hop Hari Park in Sao Paulo BR, and spin in Parangolé, go to a height of 40 mt at a speed of 103 km/h in 2 min. in the Montezun, plummet free fall from a height of 69.5 mt at 94 km/h in La Tour Eiffel, walk the trails of the Atlantic Forest, swimming in a tropical rivers and bathing in a tropical waterfalls, and much more ...Opinion on the CouchSurfing.org ProjectThe best way to keep people connected, to keep people helping themselves, make friends, a world without borders, without taking profit and reliable.

What do these numbers mean?
This summary is not a replacement for reading references; it's a quick summary to help you get started. At a glance, you can see how many references a member has, and how many of them are positive, neutral, and negative.
In the second line, you'll see how many references came from people who hosted this member, surfed with them, and traveled with them. These numbers won't always add up to the total: some references are not categorized, and some may be categorized as more than one thing.
When viewing this summary, don't jump to conclusions! Things that are negative for one person may be positive for another, and vice versa. It's important to read references carefully and evaluate what that information means to you. References (14)14Positive 0Neutral 0Negative

 From BELFORDIA Belfast, Northern Ireland
Jul 21, 2011 Positive We came to stay for two nights during the La Leche League conference in March 2011, and ended up accepting Suze's amazing hospitality for another night. So, instead of just rushing from conference to crashpad, we got to enjoy a proper full day with Suze as well, walking the dogs on a very special walk, with a bit of beach thrown in (I even got to swim in the sea, yeah!), and local information all the way.
If you get a chance to meet Suze, take it - this woman is very positive in the face of fate not having dealt her the best hand; Suze always has a positive saying to hand to keep up courage to face life in its sadder aspects. We enjoyed very easy-going conversations and meals, and discovered bits of internet we didn't already know. But the walk was best! Hope to see you again soon! May the authorities realize what a treasure they have in you!
From Daniel e Sandra Papp Manfredini Sao Paulo, Brazil
Nov 12, 2010  Positive Suze is a fun person and she is always smiling. All the times we met, she was prepared to have fun. One woman experienced but with a soul so young!
 From Reinhard Wagner Cape Town, South Africa
Oct 23, 2010 Positive Hey,I stayed at Suzete's place for a few days and really enjoyed it.She is very friendly & welcomed me back..at any time :-) She made me feel right at home and basically said,treat it as your own home.A better experience I do not think I could find ! Good going Suzete ! :-)
From Randy Ralston Rathdrum, Ireland (Republic of)
Oct 7, 2010  Positive A really beautiful person. So generous and friendly and interesting. A real artist with a very interesting story. Her family are also wonderful. Highly recommended.
 From Bill Omalley Chicago, United States
Sep 9, 2010 Positive i was meant to stay for 2 nights and ended up staying 7. there are literally no words that would do justice to suzes spirit of openness, trust, warmth and generosity. this lady does not sweat the small stuff. i enjoyed getting to know her sons and her dogs. i felt a part of the family and still feel connected to suze in a very human way. suze, i hope to see you in north america when you get your affairs in order. you are always welcome wherever i land. good luck to you.
From Franz X. Kaineder Linz, Austria
Aug 15, 2010  Positive We really didn't have too much time together the two days I stayed in her house, but I very much enjoyed being with someone so open-hearted that it felt like we had known each other for a long time. I would have liked to stay longer, but had no time.
 From Bahim Abdo Agadir, Morocco
Aug 12, 2010 Positive good
From Daniel Da Silva Gorey, Ireland (Republic of)
Aug 11, 2010  Positive She feeds me... wash my clothes... give me place to stay... well i cant ask for anything better can i?! haha I Love You Mum!
 From Krisbxl Brussels, Belgium
Aug 10, 2010 Positive Suzete is an incredible hospitable and friendly person. Although she was very busy with her work, she still offered me her couch and the possibility to make myself comfortable in her house. I really appreciated her openness and friendliness a lot. Would have loved to have had more time to get to know her better.
 From IRISHCALYPSO Waterford, Ireland (Republic of)
Jul 13, 2010  Positive Suze came to stay for one night after we had attempted to meet several times. I was tired so went to bed early a& she was totally ok with that, even asking if there was anything she could do. After breakfast, she helped me clean up (not just the breakfast things) and even fixed my washing machine! She is active, energetic and caring person, you wld be lucky to have her in your house.
