Brazilian journalist. I like being around fun, open-minded people and I just can't stand any kind of sexism or conservatism. For me, going out for a beer (or two or three :P) is always the best option to meet up ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new friends. If you're also in this medieval Germanic town and want to hang out, don't be afraid to send me a message :)
