Hey there, future friends. Nice to meet you all!
My name is Barbara, and I am a brazilian girl currently living in Stockholm.
I came to Sweden to be closer to my boyfriend and I am working as an au pair here. I am crazy about languages, and that is part of the reason why i majored in Japanese Studies and now i am studying Swedish.
I am fascinated about other cultures and travelling is the best way to experience and learn more about them, in my opinion. =)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I noticed that even tho Japan is my dream country, i have an unstoppable desire to explore other lands .
Now that i know how big the world is, there is no way back.
Also..i am looking forward to see you. I am not joking.
You, yeah, you who are reading this now. I hope we can meet someday. I keep this special place in my heart for you, future friend.
