'Carpe diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.'

I'm Carol, a fussy and dreamy Brazilian. The idea of living for a lifetime in the same place always scared me. Between 2014 and 2016 I received a studentship in Germany and then had the opportunity to visit several countries in Europe, Africa and Asia. Today I love Germany and the German-speaking.
While my time in Europe I had always looked for experiences through Couchsurfing and travel the cheapest way to get to visit a biggest number of places for to live moments that I would not buy at a travel agency. After a trip that I was alone in late 2015 through Germany, Austria, Hungary and the Czech Republic in 13 days (short but intense), I realized that exploring the world is what really makes me happy. The harder you get, the smaller the world gets!
Currently I have a project to travel around the world. But first I need learn a satisfactory English and make as much money as possible. In Brazil it is difficult with temporary jobs to collect a reasonable amount of money, so by then I have to be very creative to achieve this goal. Anyway I try to have fun too throughhout this challenge.
