Hello :)
I'm Jessica! Born and raised in a subtropical island paradise touristic beach city named Florianópolis (Brazil), but currently living in Adelaide.
I'm a creative person, an eternal lover of nature. I have 4 cats, 2 dogs that are like my lovely children. I always have lived in a house with animals and a lot of ornamental plants, orchids, medicinal herbs and fruit trees that I take care of with much love. Because of this passion for plants and also a desire to make agriculture better (with fewer chemicals and more positive life balance), I decided to study Agronomy, at an important public university of Brazil, and last year I finally graduated as an Agricultural Engineer.
I also love handwork jobs. I've painted my house and I like to build small stuffs with wood (like a dog's house), also love handmade crafts like croché, macrame, and dreamcather. I love to cook and bake, and I do it very well :)
Me and my mom have a Hostel, which is: Hostel Nossa Casa (ig.: @hostelnossacasa) and we work very hard receiving tourists and doing all kind of jobs every summer. I used to have a small production of Kombucha (@kombuchadeusa) that I commercialized on street markets around the city.
I have the backpacker spirit and definitively LOVE travel! I enjoy so much knowing people, stories, foods, culture and the diversity of mother nature around the world!
I have a partner whom I share the life with for over 7 years :)
Unfortunately I can't host at the moment as I'm living in a shared house, but when I have my own I certainly will.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

To share! I love meeting new people, specially open-minded travellers and hosts :)
I've made relly good friends at couchsurfing and I intend to make more!

Música, películas y libros

I love read, most medieval fantasy, fiction in general... I like super hero movies, epic fantasy, war stories, adventure and also some animations. I love the classic rocks, my favorite band is Pink Floyd. I can play some guitar and sing, not so good but good enough to satisfy my soul.
