ABOUT ME

My name is Jaqueline Palazzo, but i like Jackie tequila because of a brazilian song hehehe

Brazilian living in rome, medical student ,budist, very into sports (mainly swimming, running and capoeira), and always up for a beer and live music ;)

what else???....let me see...

i volunteer as a medical student one month in the amazon...january 2013....it was a totally amazing experience....getting to know the culture, the people and been in contact as such strong florest....and yes, i absolutely love my country and my people...would be glad in sharing it with u :)

I also lived in netherlands, groningen....for six months in 2013...in a erasmus program....and there i got to know couchsurfing....so i am quite new here :)

I did a couchsurfing trip last year, and i must say this was really important in my life. It was a life -time experience. It made me found out a lot about myself, i met some of the most increadible people i know, and i could felt that the life is definitly bigger than i could ever imagine. Couchsurfing was really important to me in a way that i can not explain exactly, because it was something that i just felt, i had the time of my life. Still keep in touch with most of my hosts :)

One thing that i forgot : i must confess that, in the begining, when i started to look for cs for my trip, i thought about saving money. and now, after have done it, i assure that cs is not about the money....it is about the people, about the experience....

And wel....i try always keep in mind some budism's lessons :) if you want to talk about it it would be a pleasure!!!! I am always kind with people who were kind with me :)

PHILOSOPHY

I travel to find life, I travel to find myself.Traveling I lose....i lose fears...insecurity...futility. Traveling I earn....I earn friends, I earn life, I make my dreams.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

....i surfed during july in europe :)

Meetings and hosting in rome :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

....well, i wrote somethings already heheheheh when i described myself....but well, i could notice that the best moments of my trip were with my hosts, because then I could visit the cities in a completely different way....i had some experiences in places that i would never be if it werent by cs..
So, if i host you, i would like to show you around, go to have dinner together, to dance, to drink...dont ask me a couch for saving the money....asking me because you want to meet me :) and i can assure that i will be delightful in meeting you

And, of course, if you accepted to host me i am looking forward the same :) !!!!!I really enjoy the time that i spend with friends....new people....
