First of all : Couchsurfing is an amazing community but there are still some people that confond it with dating app. So just to clarify, I only use Couchsurfing to meet locals and other travelers, create new genuine and life long friendships and learn about different cultures. :)

My name is Cristina. I am french brazilian, born in Brazil and I moved in France at age 5. I had the chance to travel with my family since my childhood and thanks to that, I learnt to be curious and open-minded about the world and its people.

I live in Rennes, Brittany. A gorgeous region of France.

First gratuated of a Master in International Management, I recently started a new journey in web development. 👩🏻‍💻

I may travel with my boyfriend, Kobi (on profile picture). We both are dancers and we love to travel and discover new the world together. ☺️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing gives us the opportunity to break the rules, open our mind by randomly meeting people and connect with them. It helps to share the life of an unknown person for a bit and maybe create a nice relation. I've made very good friends thanks to Couchsurfing since I've started using it. Kind of magic !

Interests

After years spent discovering the world, I decided to settle down in Rennes, France, and focus on myself.
That is how I started studying programming and new hobbies that I used to dream of before : martial arts (Hapkido), dancing (Bachata, Kizomba) and floral design (Ikebana).

In addition to making me love traveling, my parents also gave me the taste of photography. I always carry my camera. Nature, landscapes and animals are my favorite models. :) But architecture is also amazing, especially in Europe.

Traveling has always been part of my life since I was a kid. Now as an adult, whenever it is possible, I love to take time to get to know a country, studying, volunteering or working for example. I can't resist new adventures once in a new place. Roadtrips, hiking, dancing, exploring local activities are the best.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well for me, everyday is a gift, each one is amazing so I can not list all of them.
But there were some exceptional ones :

- Go on safaris in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates
- Help pilot a plane in Alsace, France
- Hike to Havasupai Falls in Grand Canyon, USA and fly in an helicopter above Grand Canyon
- Run on the cliffs of Glacier Point in Yosemite, California
- Working for RIO2016 Olympic Committee in Brazil during the Olympic Games

An amazing thing that I have not done yet but I'd like to : skydive above Brittany islands.

Teach, Learn, Share

My happiness and optimism of course !

As I speak French, Portuguese, English and learning other languages so it would be a pleasure to teach/learn with people that I meet during my trips.

A bit of bachata :)

We can try ikebana together !
