Hello!
My name is Jessica, I'm brazilian and I am 24 years old. These are some important things about me:

I'm in the fourth year of Letters in college. Currently I do research in contemporary brazilian literature.
I study french, and frankly, I understand and I speak much better french than english (in fact, my english is terrible, but I can understand well. In any case, I always take my dictionary with me).

People say I'm funny and outgoing, but I'm pretty shy, actually (at least initially).
One of my favorite pastimes is to go to the movies; I also love to read and go to music shows. Party hard is another of my hobbies ;)

I love animals, adrenaline. beer (cheers!), geek culture, meeting new people and new places. I also love everything that has to do with nature: hiking trails, waterfalls, camping etc.
Modesty aside, I'm a good cook and I also know how to prepare an excellent caipirinha! Unfortunately, I do not know sambar =(

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in couchsurfing because I want to travel and to meet other countries and new people, and the couchsurfng is a great way to do this! It would also be great to get people from other countries and be able to show Brazil (and my couch) to them.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning is also part of my life, I learn new things every day and this is exciting; would be great to travel and return home full of new experiences. and in the end, share it all with other people.
