About Me

CURRENT MISSION

grasp something about each place we visit in south america

ABOUT ME

Me gusta mucho vivir,comprender la esencia de donde piso, en lugar de ir a toda prisa. Me gusta conocer gente, comprender su cultura, cambiar experiencias, conocer otras filosofías de la vida.

Siempre encontro nuevas maneras de ver el mundo. Y como veo en este mundo también.

Soy una periodista, fotógrafa, escritora, viajante.

Estoy viajando por America del Sur con mi compañero, Rodrigo. Empezamos en Santiago, Chile y pensamos seguir hasta Venezuela. Ahora estamos en Bolívia.

Tengo un blog: blog.elainesantana.com.br.

I am a freelancer photojournalist, a writer and a traveler. I love to learn about the places I pass through, and if I can, I like to spend time in each place, so I can get a better understating of it, the people who live there, and how it relates to the rest of the world. x-x-x-x-x-x-xSou fotojornalista, escritora freelancer e viajante. Amo viver, experimentar, compreender a essência dos lugares por onde passo, mais do que passar com pressa. Gosto de conhecer as pessoas, entender sua cultura, trocar mais aprofundadamente, conhecer outras filosofias de vida.

Sempre descubro novas formas de ver o mundo. E de me ver nele também.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host people in my place and I show them around. I value so much when people show me things that I probably wouldn't find on my own, or that it would take me a while to find on my own, I try to do the same for the ones I am hosting/ showing. I like to cook and this is one of the ways I share.x-x-x-x-x-x-xEu hospedo pessoas e mostro-lhes onde vivo. Porque eu amo quando me mostram coisas que eu provavelmente nao encontraria sozinha ou que levaria muito tempo para encontrar sozinha, e isto que tento mostrar para as pessoas que hospedo. Adoro cozinhar e e uma das formas pela qual contribuo e troco com as pessoas.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Brazilian, Latin, jazz, some rock, some pop. Just added this desert tunes from a group called Tinariwen to my collection. I am always open to new tunes. Current favorite: Karina Buhr, Seu Jorge, Lenine.I love to read :) Right now I am reading two books, one on Brazilian politics from the time the government was privatizing State owned companies and one from Paulo Freire on education (Education and Hope). I just finished Isabel Allende's last book (El cuaderno de Maya). I am yet to finish reading my camera's manual. Movies: Let's say every year I am on the International Movie Festival line to get a pass so I can watch as many movies as I can.x-x-x-x-x-x-xamo música: brasileira, latina, jazz, alguma coisa de rock, alguma coisa de pop. acabei de adicionar um grupo do deserto chamado tinariwen a minha coleção. adoro ler, agora, estou lendo 3 livros: um sobre a pintura na vida moderna, um sobre cultivo de plantas e o manual da minha câmera (super grande, dá um livro)!!
