Hi, I'm Bia!

I'm passionate about mountains and trekking - traveling is currently the top priority in my life. My goal is to know as many places in the world as I can.

I'm always accompanied by my boyfriend Victor, whom I've been together with since 2014. His BeWelcome profile is /members/victor.pietro

In 2021, we created a travel blog where I write about our experiences, itineraries and tips of our travels around the world: https://moxileira.com.br (Instagram @moxileira).

"Moxileira" is a portuguese word (it's actually Mochileira - with 'ch') for a backpacker woman. I've chosen this name because I love to mainly travel carrying a single backpack.

Me and Victor also shared our professional lives - we own a web development agency and are currently trying to conciliate the projects with the trips that we do, that's why we bring our notebook and usually have to work while traveling (we're never on vacations). I am a front end developer and he is a back end developer and do all the rest of client-related stuff.

We would love to improve our English and Spanish skills with natives! :) Victor has also started learning French, but know a mere few words so far.

I am into minimalism and estoicism and always try to put both on practice.

OBS: I only have a few references because we usually make trips that we only stay for 1 or 2 nights at the same city and everything is kind of rushed, so we're used to Airbnb or Booking. But ever since we have been to some hostel in Europe and loved to meet new people, hear stories and do a great cultural exchange, we want to try Couchsurfing more. Also, we're budget travelers, so there's that as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1) Experiencing different cultures, meeting new interesting people and hearing good stories.

2) Cultural exchange! Did I mention that already?

3) Improving my English, Spanish and social skills.

4) Creating a good network of friends around the globe.

5) Having a safe place to stay when visiting somewhere.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love listening to rock/rap music and watch some action/drama series.

I struggle a bit with books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Our 25 days backpack trip to Europe in 2023

- Our 32 days backpack trip to Patagonia in 2022 with a friend

- Our 3 weeks road trip in California in 2017 (the most memorable one). This was the one that triggered our passion about traveling.

- Experiencing snow for the first time with my mom in 2019 (Chile)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Portuguese and also about brazilian culture overall, and also some CSS (programming) maybe (lol)

I'd love to share some histories about our past trips as well (and, specially, listening to yours!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can offer a good, joyful and respectful company. If you like, Victor can show off his "incredible" cooking skills and offer some guacamole or pasta, although we're not really that good chefs.

We can also teach you some Portuguese and brazilian culture overall, and even some CSS (programming) maybe (lol).

We love listening to stories and experiences! And also sharing some of ours. I'll be honest, we're a bit shy and sometimes that shows up, but I promise you we're good listeners nonetheless.
