Hey, future friends, nice to meet you all!
My name is Barbara, and I am a brazilian girl currently living in Tokyo. Since i am majoring in Japanese language, i came here to study, and it has been the greatest experience ever. I am crazy about foreign languages, my dream is to learn at least 7. I am crazy about music as well. I play the ocarina, ukulele, melodica and I used to play bass in a rock band. (but i sucked). anyway, i am crazy about so many things. Food. nature. stars. rain. Colors.
I dont know how to describe myself in this kind of -about me sessions-, but i am trying. i swear....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I noticed that even though Japan is the love of my life, i have this desire to explore other places getting bigger and bigger inside my heart. Now that i can see how much of the world need to be seem, there is no way back.
