Hello, hej, Привет y Hola :)

I'm Barbarah – a naturally curious traveler, both introspective and outgoing. I work in the language field as a translator and interpreter (background in architecture and urbanism, as well real estate transactions), and I’m currently sharpening my Russian skills in Russia.

I love immersing myself in new cultures, exchanging experiences, and learning from different perspectives. Having worked remotely with international companies, I have solid experience in translation and localization, so I’m always happy to help with languages and cross-cultural communication.

I’m an easygoing, open-minded, and adaptable person, always looking for meaningful conversations and genuine connections. I enjoy diving into the local way of life wherever I go—whether that means wandering through markets, trying regional dishes, or listening to the stories of those who call the place home. Respect is always a priority (and space) in connections!!!

🎯 My Interests

✨ Cultures & Languages: I speak Portuguese (Brazil), English, Spanish, and I’m mastering my Russian language. Swedish will be the continuation on my list!
📖 Psychology & Human Behavior: I love understanding how people think and interact (local life outside capitals).
🌱 Minimalism & Sustainable Living: I believe in keeping life simple and fulfilling—without overcomplicating it.
🏛 Architecture & Creative Design: I’m drawn to innovative, tech-forward, and modern spaces, especially those that evoke emotions through their aesthetics.
🚀 Flag Theory Beyond Finance: I’m interested in building global connections and enriching experiences that go beyond borders.
🐾 Animals: I’m absolutely in love with animals. I know how to take good care of dogs and cats (I have my own!) and have experience as a pet house sitter.
📂 Organization: Whether it’s files, spreadsheets, household items, or life itself—I’m naturally drawn to structure and order.
💼 Business: I love listening to, observing, and being part of businesses that are practical and genuinely useful for the world.
🏔 Remote & Quiet Places: There’s something fascinating about peaceful, off-the-grid locations—cabins, remote islands, and even places like Svalbard. The balance and simplicity of the lagom lifestyle also inspire me.

‼️I am not into alcohol and smoke ‼️

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

For me, traveling is about more than just checking off landmarks. I want to experience places through the people who live there—understanding their daily life and exchanging authentic experiences. If I can contribute in any way—whether by cooking a meal, sharing language tips, or simply telling good stories—I’d be happy to do so!

As a guest or a host, I value mutual respect, good conversations, and a lighthearted atmosphere. 😊

音乐、电影和书籍

I’m an eclectic person. I use music to set the mood and bring the emotions I need for the day. My favorite book and life guide is the Holy Bible. Following that, The War of Art by Steven Pressfield.

Flying in a hot air balloon, rescuing stray cats, and volunteering to renovate a school library.

教，学，和分享

I believe life is a continuous exchange of knowledge and experiences.

Teach: I can share insights about languages, cultural perspectives, organization techniques, and even some practical aspects of translation and remote work. If you're curious about any of these topics, I’d love to chat!

Learn: I’m always eager to learn—whether it’s about local traditions, new skills, unique ways of thinking, or even simple life lessons from everyday experiences.

✨Right now I am focused on Astrocartography - how the energies of each city/country affects my behavior.

Share: I enjoy meaningful conversations, cooking together, and creating a positive environment wherever I go.

For me, the best connections come from this balance of teaching, learning, and sharing! 😊
