About Térèse
In 2017 I started to work as an Airbnb host, renting rooms in my house. In a few months, I was, already, a Super host. The exchanged with people from other countries and different cultures was, really amazing. During these 2 years and a half, according to Airbnb, 20 Countries have already passed through my house. But, one of the best part of this experience, is that I don`t only receive my guests. I love to show my city, Rio de Janeiro, to them, as a “local friend”. Doing this, I have had the opportunity to live amazing experiences in my own city, that I`ve never lived before. Since I`ve been living these experiences, I realized my truly vocation is to deal with new experiences around the world and with different cultures and people. Besides, I`m a screenwriter, a Brazilian soap opera criticized, a cultural producer, a filmmaking, a project manager, an advertising, an actress and a dancer.. I`ve lived working between those areas during 40 years. My youth (even as a 52 years old woman) and personality, attract a lot of friends; I'm sweet, affectionate, happy, funny and have a good energy; I have a good management in contact with people, sociability and cunning; Even when I don`t agree to other opinions, I know how to show this in a polite and clear way; I have the ability to deal with people from all cultures, economic and social status, and different ages; I have a good education, good professional qualification, character formation and know how to behave in appropriates places and situations; I'm very ethic and a dedicated professional, always ready to help in the desktop; I have responsibility, discretion, knows how to work with a crew and have total dedication and focus. I'm a leadership; I`m also dare and usually solve problems efficiently.
About Casa da Feijoada
Rio de Janeiro has an enormous variety of food and food from a lot of foreign countries. But I believe if you come to Rio de Janeiro, you would like to taste (and know) a typical Carioca food, wouldn’t you? So, the plate is FEIJOADA. Made of black beans and a variety of smoked meats, the side dishes are rice, cabbage, cassava flour, and orange. And you should be asking: Orange???. Yes, I explain. The smoked meats are so salted. So, we use to suck orange buds during the meal, to neutralize the salt. But FEIJOADA is very heavy food, so, I suggest you eat at lunch. And, after eating, you certainly would like to take a nap after. Some restaurants use to serve FEIJOADA with Torresmo too. Torresmo is an appetizer made of pork skin and fat. Delicious!!! The restaurant I suggest to eat a very good FEIJOADA in Rio is CASA DA FEIJOADA, in Ipanema. The drink that must accompany the FEIJOADA is our traditional CAIPIRINHA (or Caipifruit or Caipiroska). The difference is: CAIPIRINHA is made with LEMON and CACHAÇA; Caipifruit is made with any fruit and CACHAÇA. Already the Caipiroska is made with any fruit (even Lemon) and VODKA. But I suggest you drink CACHAÇA, that is so Brazilian.
