About Me

I am a Brazilian girl and bachelor student of International Relations at UNESP, but I'm currently doing an exchange in Duisburg (Germany).

I was born in a city called Jundiaí (São Paulo state, Brazil), but I had lived in two more cities (Cruzeiro and Atibaia, both in São Paulo state too) before moving to my university town, Franca and now I'm in Germany \o/

As you can see, I had too many places as home, therefore I have no place to call home. That's what makes me a little bit confused about my life sometimes hahaha

I'd always loved to travel, but I truly discovered it as my passion during this year that I've spent in Europe :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel is not just about sightseeing. For me it is about to meet not only new places, but the culture and the people from the place that I am visiting. That's why I've made it eight times already, but informally (not using the app, just by some contacts).

It shows me a completelly different view from the place that I'm visiting. It gives me the opportunity to interact with locals or people who knows much about the city and get deeper in the culture.

Another amazing advantadge to do Couchsurfing is to meet some incredible people, that is what traveling is about too.

Then, it makes possible to have a such intense and unique experience to share your life and your thoughts with your Host, even if it's just for a few days.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm an indecisive person, so it's hard to choose only one favorite music, movie or book. I love them all! Here you can find just some of them, but my taste changes day after day.
Books: Harry Potter saga
Movies: Across the Universe, The Hunger Games saga
Music: Imagine - John Lennon, Ho Hey - The Lumineers

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to cook the traditional Brazilian desert called "brigadeiro" and other "not too complex" Brazilian dishes. I can either teach you some words of Portuguese and even help you if you are learning it. I don't know how to dance samba perfectly, but maybe I can try to teach you a bit too haha

Also, I'm completely interested about learning and going deeper in the culture of the country that I'm visiting and the Host's contry too, if he/she is not a local. So be prepaired to answer me some questions about daily stuff and lifestyle curiosities about your country that I'll probaly make hahah I'm open minded, so I really want to understand the different perspectives of people arround the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share all the Brazilian culture, wich is very diverse, my experience living in Germany for one year, all my experiences in traveling and some great stories. If you are planning to go to Brazil, I can also give you some tips about the country and trips!
