I'm a 20 years old girl who lives in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais. I'm currently studying International Relations at the university but I also work as a Life Coach.

I'm very easy going and I like to laugh and be very positive about life.

I have a tattoo on my upper arm, which says: "The question isn't who is going to let me, it's who is going to stop me" so I guess that's my motto in life xD

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going to America for the first time (yaaay) and well, I have already used CS once in Brazil, so I thought about using it again for two reasons:

> Money is short for hotels
> I absolutely LOVE the experience of meeting new people, having a host or hosting someone

So yeah, let me explain it better. I had to make a crowdfunding to cover half of my ticket flights, for example, because I didn't have enough money. So I wouldn't lie and say that CS would help me A LOT in this sense. But I sincerely don't want to take advantage from it, I want to help my host as much as I can and be able to create a bond with her/him. I don't want only a place to stay during the trip, I want to get to know the person I'll be sharing a house with, you know?

I want to do backpacking - not sure if this the correct word in English, though. Hopefully, I'll be able to have a great experience with you all help!

That's all, I believe hahah

1984, by George Orwell
Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand
The Diary of Anne Frank

And movies: basically Pulp Fiction - I usually sleep while watching movies :s not proud of it hahah

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook so we could share recipes
Also, I'd love to learn to play some instrument - I thought I could play the piano, but nah, I'm terrible at it.
And I want to be able to share most experiences I will have in the city, and actually develop an amazing connection and friendship.
