About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel more, read more, watch more movies. Next trip I have in mind is to go to Iran.

ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Julia. I am Brazilian History student currently living in Austria, and I'm really curious about other people's cultures and histories. I'm afraid I can't be a host for now, but I would love to meet people and take them to my favourite places.
If you don't make reference to anything in my profile, and just send me a control+c control+v message, I'm not gonna reply, so please let me know why you're messaging me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet people. If you want to chat, visit somewhere interesting, that would be nice, but please don't send me thirsty messages or control+c, control+v messages.

Interests

Travel is kind of obvious on this site, right? I'm a nerd, and will spend a lot of time traveling inside museums and historical sights. I love dancing Lindy Hop and Collegiate Shag and going to swing dancing events, and I can show you the scene in Vienna.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love old movies, especially from the 40s, 50s and 60s (Bergman, Fellini, Truffaut, Antonioni, Bunuel, Sganzela, Júlio Bressane, Tarkovskii). I can also rant endlessly about how perfect were Portrait of a Lady on Fire, by Sciamma, and Aftersun, by Charlotte Wells).
I love classic rock, jazz, bossa nova, MPB (Bob Dylan, Beatles, Janis Joplin, The Doors, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone, Tom Jobim, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Tom Zé).
I'm an avid reader and passionate about Russian literature and Elena Ferrante. I really love Dostoevsky, Akhmatova, Ferrante, Atwood, Borges, Clarice Lispector, Fernando Pessoa, Nabokov, Ali Smith, Virginia Woolf.
I'm also participating on a challenge of reading books and watching movies from every country in the world. I'd love to get a recommendation of a book or movie from your country.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer tips about Brazil and insights on our culture and history.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a good cook and a decent chat
