ABOUT ME

Hello, my name is Isabel, but for many years all call me Bel. I'm 28 now and working with film and television. I have a degree in journalism and have just completed a postgraduate course in film at a school in Madrid, Spain. I spent nine months living in this city and now I begin a journey of one month by some European countries.
My travel schedule includes these cities: London, Bratislava, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris and Rome. I will return to Spain in August, leaving Treviso (Italy) by boat toward Barcelona.

PHILOSOPHY

See the beauty of simple things. I do not need much to be happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will spend a month and some days traveling around Europe and returned to Brazil in early September. I would like to make couch surfing during this time and then when I return to São Paulo, put my home available for others.
I believe that travel is not only known places as a tourist, but also meet people, and couch surfing seems to me the best way to out of the tourist circuit and live the real city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My roommate is also in couch surfing. We got here in Madrid two girls who came from the U.S. last month.
In the past week we received at home a girl from Brazil, who met through a friend.

Interests

I am a person excited about life, love my job and everything that is related to culture: movies, music, theater, dance, visual arts, books. I believe in the collective creation and building a better and fairer world.
