My name is Fernanda Brescia, I'm 29 years old and I'm brazilian. I'm journalist and I work with cultural projects, especially with audiovisual ones like documentaries, educative TV series, videoart and also projects about visual arts.

I love everything related with culture and art. I do want to meet simple people who wants to change experiences/energies, to connect truly, to have fun together and talk about life and its possibilities, its horizons.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a talkative/communicative person and I think couchsurfing help us to find interesting people to share awesome experiences and discover new places, cultures, histories and, of course, to learn new points of view; to discover people who wants to open its chests and minds, connect with nature, with 'the other', listen to 'the other', understand 'the other', be 'the other'.
