I'm a Masters of Economics student in Beijing, China and world-traveler. I love meeting new people and I have many exciting stories to tell of my travels and of China. I have been to 30 countries and plan on going to 193/193 in the world someday, including Antarctica! (Right now on a student budget, but hopefully that will change for the better soon!)

About the languages I speak: I was born in Brazil, grew up in the US, studied a semester abroad in Paris, LOVE BARCELONA and am currently living in China! I want to be a hyperpoliglot (speak 11+ languages) one day so I can talk to everyone!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it's the best way to get to know local people and local spots around the city; make friends... Maybe one day I'll be able to repay the favor!

Interests

I've recently taken up photography. I'm a complete beginner! Can't wait to learn some tips and tricks from a photographer, so if you are one, please teach me!

I'm a total foodie. I'll try almost anything -- just don't tell me what it is first.

Studying languages is my hobby and what I do in my spare time.

I also like writing, and aim to start my own travel blog and video channel.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm quite eclectic and like many things! I don't listen to music, watch movies or read books as much as I'd like, but I'm open to hearing your suggestions. Actually, my favorite movies/songs/books are usually those recommended to me by people I know, so fire away!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've done many amazing things, but one of them was moving to China on my own.

Teach, Learn, Share

Please teach me about photography and the "hidden gems" of the city that you know! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you about my culture (Brazilian) and the places I've been. I can also take some nice (amateur, but still nice) photos that I can share to you!

I can also share tips with you if you are planning on coming to the places I know well, or we can even practice one of the languages I speak.
