Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided to join couchsurfing because I love to meet new people, make friends, travel. I want to share what I´ve learned in life with the people I´ll meet, I want to share my culture and also would love to learn with them as well (that´s my favorite part).

Interests

Oh that´s a big list haha, I have lots of interests. I love animals and nature, so everything related to adventure in the jungle interests me, I love hiking and exploring new places is always fun. Another passion is languages, I speak Portuguese which is my first language and English. I´ve spent a month in Buenos Aires in 2016 studying Spanish which was a great experience. So, that would be great to meet people who speak those languages, I could also teach some Portuguese in exchange :) Also interest in culture and history, it´s great to travel and get to know the locals and their costumes.

My favorites books are The Help and Memoirs of a Gueisha (those are the last one I´ve read)
Movies: The list is huge, I have so many: The Bucket List, Into the Wild, Wild, A Vida é Bela, The Intouchables, Patch Adams (my favorite one), Forrest Gump, The Terminal, Seven Years in Tibet, The Good Lie.
