Overview
About Me
I do and like a lot of different things and I never know what defines me better. I am a very curious person and I try to observe everything that surrounds me. Trying to understand other people's opinion, how things work and how different cultures interpret the world is maybe one of my permanent goals. This helps me to understand who I am and what can I do to become a better person.
I study Linguistics and Literature and I worked as a Portuguese/Italian/French teacher when I lived in Brazil, but now I am doing an exchange in France. I am always riding a bike and I also try to discuss politics (especially gender and queer questions), to write and to practice martial arts as often as possible.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I travel a lot, but traditional tourism doesn't satisfy me that much. Travelling for me has more meaning if I can meet different people, get in touch with other cultures and experience the living and mutant places from everyday life instead of just taking pictures of famous spots.
I like to spend some quality time with my hosts/guests.
