A stranger is a friend you've never met before

Hello,

I am a brazilian student currently living in Paris and studying social sciences. My biggest passion by far is traveling and the second come along, photography. In the past I used to move inside my own country very often and the last time it happened to be abroad, to France. I am very curious about any topic, I am always questioning about the world that surrounds me and that leads to my biggest dream: to step a foot in every country in the planet. I love meeting new people and discovering their stories, I'm a very good listener and always open to discuss about different countries, cultures, languages, curiosities... So if you ask me if I have been somewhere I might have been or just not yet.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

I chose couchsurfing as an easier way to connect to local people, see the places I visit from their own perspectives and get to know deeper the places I go

Interesses

Surprise! I like traveling :) I'm also an amateur photographer, I like hiking in the forest or be in the nature in general, indoor climbing, dreaming big and planing trips all the time. I've so far accomplished to travel every month to a different country or two while having a job and lectures to attend. I am really interested in geopolitics or history of art but I can discuss about any topic. Also, I've been struggling with russian for the past 10 years of my life, if you have any idea how to get good at it I'm all ears!
