Excited to be here! I sign up a while ago, but I wasn’t active and I´d like to change that now.

I´m short, kind a cute :P, consider myself an easygoing person, with great sense of humor, lived all my life on south of Brazil, BUT, whenever I can, I go hike, beer and music festivals, always looking for something different to do, love new experiences, to travel, meet new places, people and their culture and food!

Traveled through South America, been to Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru and Brazil ;)

I´m an Architect, but I’m giving me a time off… the last few years it has been a real life change for me and I’ve decided that finally I should do the things I’ve always wanted to do (before I’m too old)

So now, at my 40’s I´m about to start a new journey, starting with an Exchange, that begins in June!

You can find me here and on Instagram @cristinatakeuchi or @entre.mundos.novos

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A new way to meet people and the world.

I believe it will be a way to really get to know the local culture and create stronger bonds of friendship
