CURRENT MISSION

Working in a meeting- and activity center for people with mental and/or fysical disabilities 💚

ABOUT ME

My name is Manuela and I'm originally from a small town called Tongeren that's located in Belgium... Now I live in Antwerp. My mother is Brazilian so I grew up while learning about the Belgian and Brazilian culture. We've been to Brazil a lot of times since I was a kid and I love it, it's a country where I feel at home. I've lived in Brazil for a while but I'm back in Belgium now.

I am a special educator for people with disabilities. I love my job 💛 Something that I really enjoy is making jewelry, especially earrings. I make them with beads, with leather, and so on. This works like therapy for me.

Unfortunately I don't have a couch for anyone but I'm willing to guide or help anybody that is going to spend some time here in Belgium! :) I really miss the nice conversations with travelers... We have a lot in common. See you soon, my fellow travelers!

PHILOSOPHY

Make it simple, be simple, live simple

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosted by a lovely person in Marseille, France. Super great experience! I've also been hosted by 3 amazing guys in Sardinia, a travel I won't ever forget and I got to know other people from the couchsurfing community too. Lovely people... Looking forward to the more experiences that will come!!!
