Hello! I'm Bia! I am 23 years old, I study architecture and urbanism in São Paulo and am now in exchange, studying in Lisbon.
I love architecture, art, urban life, film-making, graphic design, playing guitar and singing... AND DOGS, obviously! I'm very curious and like to learn new things every time I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Basically I want to travel more! For most of my life I've been a "play-it-safe" kind of person and was getting too comfortable with my usual life and enviroment... It wasn't satisfing me anymore so I decided I need some changes! Now, I'm already out of my comfort-zone by living in another country and want to go out of it even further! And what better way to do that than traveling, meeting new places, people and different cultures? And hopefully I can make some new friends while doing it!

Music, Movies, and Books

That is a hard and broad topic, isn't it?
My favorite kind of music changes a lot, I've become a lot more ecletic and can appreciate different styles recently... My favorite kind is probably folk music, like a singer-songwriter style... For many years now, I just keep coming back to it. Although I listen to a lot of alternative rock, brazilian and pop music as well.
My favorite kind of films is usually ones that look really good, haha... A good cinematography and I'm sold! That being said, obviously storyline and pace matters a lot too. I usually watch dramas and comedies the most.
This is going to sound a bit stupid BUT for books, I usually like the ones where they write in a simple way. If your story is consistant you don't need a fancy vocabullary to get it across and to make the reader connect with it... I also like poetry, the kind where you want to read it aloud. Spoken-word is nice also. My favorite writers are Clarice Lispector and Bukowski. And also, Harry Potter. Harry Potter is awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn new things and if somebody has anything that they are really passionate about, I love to hear they talking about it. I'm very interested in learning new languages!
I can teach portuguese and english... And I can cook very eatable food!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share some portuguese wines and pastries, haha! I also love to have deep conversations about random things that I know nothing about...
