About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Anything for a better world!!

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Vitória, the capital of the state of Espirito Santo, Brazil.
I love traveling.
I wish I had more chances to travel. Although my profession won´t allow me.
I have lived and studied in the USA as an exchange student long time ago.
I love meeting new people and different cultures. Being fluent in two languages and having lived in another country greatly contributes to my good communication and cross-cultural skills.
I am just as general adventurer out enjoying life cause life is too short to be miserable!!

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life with optimism, positive energy and openness. With appreciation and respect. I believe in the support of family, whoever/whatever that may be for you.
I am a hard worker, and I love what I do, but also enjoy having time to enjoy life.
I appreciate home, friends, family, and each and every opportunity I can get to do and be something significant. I believe in other ways of living life different from my own and bridging the gap between the two.
I am seeking balance and happiness!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

- By sharing information about the places I know.- By showing others around my city.- By respecting my hosts and guests - listening to them, learning from them, contributing towards all kinds of things I can.- By offering whatever I can to make a stay more comfortable. - By hosting whenever I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted some interesting people, and this has been the greatest way of learning about cultures and sharing experiences that I could ever imagine.
I love showing people around my town and sharing experiences with them as well.
I have surfed a few couches and it has been one of the greatest things in my life...meeting people, sharing emotions, becoming friends!
Just love it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have developed a campaign to help people in Rio de Janeiro who had lost everything with the series of floods and mudslides that took place in January 2011 in several towns of the Mountainous Region.

I am much interested in working in third world countries as a volunteer, and I am looking forward to having a opportunity.
