Hello (:
I'm Clarisse, I'm 2O years old, from Brazil and it would be great to meet you.
I was raised in a house with a big garden, with fruits and dogs. I used to always play alone in this garden and I can still feel the effects of being raised in this house permeate through my personality.
Currently I'm a sensible vegetarian (almost vegan) animal lover, I also love reading, writing, drinking tea and watching drama movies. The gathering of different types of culture and its history is essential as air to me.
Most of the times I sound like an old lady. I know. But I always try to be funny and in a good mood, haha.
But more than being with myself, I love to be in good company.
Learning is incredibly importante to me and I'm aware that true knowledge is outside of my confort zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The idea of starting to couchsurf occurred to me only as a way to save money. But after my first try It came to me as a pleasant way to truly know the feeling of the places I visit.
Nowadays I consider couchsurfing incredibly pleasant and I would love to be able to have guests once I'm in my house in Brazil.

Interests

Learning, listening, helping, cooking, painting, drawing, reading, traveling, being kind, doing yoga, sightseeing, eating...
Many verbs.
I always try to understand and respect the meaning of everyone's interest and I'm always looking for something new to think about.
Maybe this is my biggest interest: to think.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I've done for myself was to decide to start to travel by myself. It changed (and it still does) my views on life in various ways.
One good thing I've done to others was to give back an expensive cell phone that I found on a bench in Warsaw. I charged it at a local pub (with the waiter's charger) and called the brother of the phone's owner to pick it up.
I always try to put myself in other peoples place.

Teach, Learn, Share

In concrete ways I can only teach you portuguese, if you want. And, unfortunately, it ends in that, haha.
BUT I would love to learn about a lot of different things; like: cooking, farming, different daily lives, paintings, literature, the current scenario of the city I'm visiting, different politic views, different jobs, music, history (I REALLY like history), etc...
And share experiences; of course.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My easy smile, my thoughts, ideas and probably some fruits that I will have in my backpack, haha.
Mostly my simplicity, sincerity and gratefulness.
I would be truly happy if you could host me.

Thank you for reading my profile (:
