About Me

One of my missions is to learn all Latin languages (French, Spanish and Italian) as I make friends all over the world.

I come from a small fisherman town in the north of Rio de Janeiro called Arraial do Cabo and my passion is learning languages, travelling and meeting other cultures. I worked as a Flight Attendant for 5 years in Dubai, then lived in Amsterdam, Germany, Thailand where I did my massage and meditation courses.

Today I work as a freelance masseur everywhere I go. I had done most of my training in Asia (Thailand and then Kuala Lumpur). Also I have gone to Europe for the past few summer season, but now based in Rio.

I don't smoke or do anything that can be bad for my health, body and mind. I am very open-minded, friendly, respectful, honest, calm and easy-going. I like music festivals as well as being in nature, do sports and outdoor activities like Capoeira (Brazilian Martial Art), Freediving, Bikram Yoga, Meditation, Gymnastics etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I subscribed to CS with the intention to experience the good within humanity and learn with it.

My first and unofficial experience was when I had one Irish girl staying in my parent's house when I was learning English which was amazing.

Then I was hosted in Italy by Gian who trusted me fully on my first official CS experience :-) I will never forget his hospitality.

I can share my heart and my perspectives and principles, by the way, I was raised. To see the world with more love and kindness.

I can learn a lot of things too, especially about culture differences, which is what interests me the most.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Friendship, a contact with a friend, a shoulder to cry on if needed or a laugh even...
