🇧🇷 Studying and enjoying life in Brazil 🇧🇷
------------------------------------------------------------------

CURRENT MISSION

Never stop learning to live fully by knowing people, languages, cultures and so much more with an open-mind.

I traveled from March 2021 to April 2022 in Latin America and I am fortunate enough and came back probably for good !!

Studying in Foz do Iguaçu Brazil for 2 years!! 😎

PHILOSOPHY

Never forget that life is a gift. So, live it to the full.
Don't be afraid to ask, it opens doors.

ABOUT ME

I'm Clara, 25. French mum and Austrian dad. I was born in Germany and grew up in France with my parents and little sister. So, as you can see I got the travel and cultural interest bug from my parents and family already haha !

Ich bin offen, ich interesse mich für alles, besonders über Reise, Sprachen, Astronomie und vieles andere 😁 ich bin auch immer respektvoll und zuverlässig. Es ist für mich das wichtig wenn man couchsurfing macht.

Soy una persona con la mente abierta al mundo, respetuosa, sincera y honesta.

Estou aberta a conhecer e provar novas coisas. Eu gosto conhecer gente e lugares interessantes. Quero compartilhar com as pessoas e aprender de elas.

I like practicing all kind of sports like soccer, badmindton, table tennis, volleyball, swimming, hiking, climbing, etc...
I even experienced water-skiing several times! It's an amazing feeling, like flying on the water... until falling XD
I don't mind watching soccer games too ;D

Alors pour tout ceux qui hésitent à voyager à l'étranger, n'hésitez plus et lancez-vous, il n'y a rien d'équivalent et pour ceux comme moi qui aiment les langues, c'est le meilleur moyen d'apprendre une langue et sa culture, ça j'en suis convaincue.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I was an au pair in the region of Galicia, I tried couchsurfing in Valencia for the first time in 2019.
It was an amazing experience and I immediately wanted to continue living such experiences😁
Now that I have some experience as guest and host, I can really affirm that couchsurfing is just THE best. I met so many people I wouldn't have known otherwise and of course I learned so much about cultures, languages, people and myself.

Plus, I think couchsurfers are living heroes haha : Always helping and giving everything they have and receiving as much!!
I'm sooo looking forwards to meet you guys and learn as much as I can from each other with respect. Always happy to share.

I really got the Latin vibes traveling with CS through South America for a year. It made me even more in love with the app and getting to know a country through its people! I love evolving from complete strangers to friends in a couple of hours... Only people, who have experienced couchsurfing can understand the strong bond, which exists between the ones using this incredible app. Always with respect and tolerance.

So let's new adventures begin!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Amo dansar e cantar mas não sou especialista kkkkk

I love films, all kind of movies except horror!
I like movies that teach us a lesson, such as biopics or films inspired by true stories.
I read also a lot and all kind of books from information to fantasie to drama....
But since the begin of my studies I had less time and during traveling it's hard to find time, but I enjoy reading and learning new things in general! I'm curious of the world.

Sharing life experiences and time together is a gift and I will do my best to be an exemplar guest.

Ich kann gerne meine Erfahrungen teilen und ich würde gerne einfach Zeit zusammen verbringen. Es ist für mich ein Geschenk eingeladen zu sein und ich gebe immer mein Bestes, um der beste Gast zu sein.
