Hi from Brazil!!

My name is Letícia (Letty) and I am a 24 years old Brazilian student. I have lived in Brazil my whole life and grew up on the capital, called "Brasília" - a beautiful, calm and modern city that looks very different from the rest of the Brazil (we dont have beaches and the buildings are very modern).

During the week I work as Personal Assistant to a Diplomat and I also study on the University of Brasilia (History Studies, Major), but I'm planning to complete my studies on France. During the week I like to go out with my friends to Pubs, Clubs, to bike and skateboard around the city, we have a lot of diurnal options here. When I have time I manage some art projects on the area of Photography, Poetry and music, it has been 6 years since I'm having this amazing experience.

I am the type of person that almost never says no (but when it's no, it's no!). I like doing everything and I love helping people to know my culture and to mingle with Brazilian people. I like travelling A LOT, I have 'done' more than 6 states in my country and visited 3 different countries so far.

I am very talkative and funny and I like to amuse people with kindness and taking them to have a Brazilian beer. I truly believe in all kinds of love and respect, I support all the causes I can because I believe that only love can change the world. I am a strong, independent woman so I do not accept any kind of injustice. #girlpower!

So, If you want someone with very strong personality, kind smile, easygoing style and open minded, that's me! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

- I am a History student, so I love meeting new cultures and tradition. It amuses me a lot to see how the society has grown so differently in each country.

- To meet new people, understand how they live. I don't want to have the basic tourist experience, I want to live the fullest experience possible as a citizen.

- To try a new language.

- To have 'cousine' experiences. Cooking is very important for me, and culture/tradition is deeply connected to food. So I like very much to understand and learn about it.

- To take pictures. I am a photographer and I want to share with others the amazing things I have seen. "Happiness is only real when shared" - Supertramp.

- To accomplish the values that I think important per a lifetime. Travelling is my passion and what makes me really happy and fulfilled, each trip that I make evolves the person that I am, and will become someday.

Interests

- I love art, all kinds of this. So museums, squares, churches, libraries are always my choice to visit when travelling.

- I have an interesting relation with food. I don't know how to cook a long variety but I like to read about it to learn the effects and benefits of the food. And I'm also working in a food photographic project!

- 100% Cinephile! Very into movies, I know a lot of stuff and directors and I like watching a lot.

- Travelling of course, my truest passion. I could do much more if I had the time.

- Drinking! I have a large experience with beers (beers and wine courses) and I like the taste and history behind some type of beverages. Boun Vivant allert!!

- Tattoos! I have 9 of them and Im planning to cover my both arms. I really love this kind of art.
