Hey, I’m Jaine, 23 years old and I’m from Bahia the northeast Of Brazil. I’m a super curious person, I love to experience new ways of life, find out more about each culture and show a little bit of my culture as well and I think traveling is the best way to have those experiences. I studied international relations in Brazil for a year, before I decided to quit college and travel around. Since then I traveled to different countries and I lived in Belgium for 8 months, The Netherlands for a year and I'm currently living in Connecticut since march.
I'm doing an Cultural exchange called Au pair and between my work and free time I’m trying to enjoy as much as I can, The USA is a huge country, so I hope I can travel around here during my stay and see more of the American Culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to learn about other cultures and I'm interested in not only traveling as a tourist but also meeting people and experience the local life.
I think Couchsurfing is the best of both worlds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacked around my state in Brazil for 6 months, before moving to the USA.
I was living and working in Hostels and was able to meet so many nice people.
After traveling around I felt like I also needed to see more of my own county and that's one of the reasons why I decided to do it, have lot of good stories and memories from those 6 months.
