Hi, my name is Laura, I’m a smiling, charismatic and kind-hearted girl, who is always looking to have new experiences and get to know different people.
Since I was a child, I always dreamed of traveling the world, but not just for taking photos at tourist attractions. I was interested in getting to know local people and new cultures, as well as share my stories of life and curiosities about my beatiful country.
After five months of exchanging volunteer work for accommodation in hostels in Brazil, I've decided to save money to go backpacking around Europe with only a one-way ticket, in order to have new experiences that contribute to my personal growth and, at the same time, I can give back in some way to make the world a better place to live in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to exchange experiences with local people and get to know less touristy places.

Music, Movies, and Books

I adore reading books about travel, nutrition, human behavior and the evolution of planet Earth. I also love studying languages, and I'm always wanting to learn new things.
My favorite films and series are in the action and adventure genre, like Game of Thrones and Vikings.
I enjoy listening to pop music, as well as some reggaes and hip hop songs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started studying Photography two years ago, mainly Nature and Travel Photography. I have already created a portfolio and can share my knowledge on the subject with you.
I've also been vegan for almost 6 years so far, so I have a huge knowlegde in that topic.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook and teach you to cook delicious vegan meals. I can also teach you how to travel in a more economical and sustainable way.
I would love to learn about your city and costumes, as well as visiting places around your home.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my experiences living in two wonderful capitals of Brazil. Florianopolis, known as the "Island of Magic" and one of the cities with the most beautiful and paradisiacal beaches in Brazil, and Curitiba, considered one of the most environmentally sustainable cities in Latin America.
