Hi there, my name is Beatriz and I'm a 22 years old brazilian girl doing a Law School Exchange at Università degli studi Roma TRE in Rome, Italy for the next 6 months.

I’m from São Paulo, one of the biggest and vibrant cities in Brazil, but I’m actually living in Porto Alegre - capital of the southest state of the country -, to study Law School at Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS).

I know it’s pretty common to left the parents house to study, mainly in the University time, but it is not that simple to move from your hometown (where you always have been lived), take a lot of responsabilities and also say goodbye to family and friends. Nevertheless, the challenge was accepted and I admited that it have been an excellent experience that makes me grow up everyday and offered me an opportunity to meet increbile people who I certainly can call friends.

Now, four years after all this change, I’m looking for new challenges and a diferent kind of knowledge: living, studying and travelling abroad. And what it means to me? It means exercise a new language, meet a new culture, new (beautiful and historical) places and also meet new people. Besides all of this - like if it isn’t enough, and I trully believe that it is - it’s gonna be time to increase my personal qualification not only like a person but also like a professional.

I believe that real enjoy life is about of how you can understand the colours and how you could turn the greyest things in beautiful colourful ones.

It’s gonna be a pleasure stay for a few days on your couch and talking a little more. Let’s do it together?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm using couchsurfing to meet new places around the world spending less money; and also to make new friends and share experiences

Interests

I'm a very very very very (and very) comunicative and interactive person - I'm the kind of person who attempt start a conversation in the supermarket/bank line or the one who will try to make you smille if you're upset.. So, it's difficult keep me quiet - unless someone ask me to stop talking, he he he!
