I wish i could host people, but i'm living on student dorms right now so it's not quite possible.

My name is Lily, I'm a 22 years old communications student from São Paulo, Brazil. I currently live in Erlangen, Germany. I am a very optmistic person and I dream of traveling the world and getting to see everything there is beautiful. I love people that are open minded and have a big heart, who are willing to share and learn with others. I'm very open and I tend to really bond with people, my friendships are never shallow.
I like to talk about life, feelings, things that make people happy, I like to tell and hear stories! I love learning languages and new cultures. One year ago I've started taking German classes and I'm still struggling with it, but I keep going because I think there is so much about culture that can only be understood through the language itself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think CS is the perfect opportunity to meet new people in my journey and a way of getting to know a place with the eyes of a local.

Music, Movies, and Books

My musical taste is all over the place! I enjoy brazilian popular music such as carioca funk, pagode, samba, sertanejo, forró etc (It would be a pleasure to share them with you); I think it's easier to name some of the artists I listen to because the labels for them aren't very clear.. Andrew Jackson Jihad, Furns, Animal Collective, Thomash, Lotte Ahoi, Gama, Beach House, Fleet Foxes, Daniel Johnston, Sufjan Stevens, Bon Iver, Widowspeak, Bjork, Daughter, The Kooks, Velvet Underground, Nico, Bob Marley, Sister Nancy, The Smiths, 80's disco, etc!

For movies.. Captain Fantastic is one of my favorites! And Everything produced by Wes Anderson but especially Moonrise Kingdom.

I haven't been reading much anymore... I'm down to 1 or 2 books a year nowadays. But from what I've read recently, definitely Anna Karenina and the unbearable lightness of being are worth mentioning! Great books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
