Marcela.

=========================

Hello! My name is Marcela. I'm italo-brazilian, but I consider myself a global citizen.

In Brazil, I was graduated in Philosophy and in Italy I took a post-graduation in Pedagogia dell'Espressione (Education + Arts + Theatre). And currently I'm taking a masters degree in Philosophy for Children.

Nowadays I consider myself an Educational Researcher, who tries to learn something different everyday and to become a better person by travelling and connecting to others.

If you want to know a bit more about me to collaborate in Educational and Philosophical projects, contact me.

My story as a traveller:

In 2016, I did a studies internship to Spain. From this experience I discovered my passion for traveling, meeting new people and new culture. I studied for one semester in the city of Jaén and it was the best experience ever. I was only 21.

I have no words to describe how amazing it was knowing people from all over the world and, moreover, build new friendships.

When my semester was finished, I started traveling around Europe only with my backpack for 10 weeks, then I came back to Brazil to start a new chapter of my life... (This was on 2016 and 2017).

In 2018 I moved to Rome. I really loved this city.

️

In 2019 I started backpacking again in the month of August and in September. I did the Camino de Santiago de Compostela and since then I've been nomad, jumping into the Unknown!

Who can say where the road goes next...?

***

My dream is to travel a lot and always keep this feeling of connection with the Universe and its amazing people.

***

Traveling can change you forever... I'm sure about that! And it's the only thing you buy that makes you richier than you already are.

***

Everyone and everything that you meet knows something you don't. Stay opened to learn.

***

The more you give, the more you have: sharing your heart with people can only grow its dimensions. Don't be afraid to open up!

***

If I could say something that really motivates me it would be that there is no better way of being happy then sharing my happiness with people, that's the reason why I'm very grateful to live in such a big world with so amazing experiences to be lived.

I believe we atract what we vibrate and when we feel connected to the Universe -"the traveler Spirit"- we can live that even more.

***

Life is a gift and I am thankful for that!

Nice to meet you,

M.

IMPORTANT:

Some implicit "rules" I like to follow, when using couchsurfing, both as a host and as traveller:

When I use couchsurfing as a traveller I like to buy my own food or help in the house tasks (this is my little way of saying "thanks" for a stranger who receives me in his/her house).

In the same way, I believe when I host someone I expect this person have the same kind of respect that I give. So, if I host you, this kind of actitude will be very appreciated. (nobody says it, but everybody appreciates it) ;)

***

Keep it easy, keep it simple!

***

Finally:

***((Couchsurfing is an aplication for travelers and probably for people that want to talk about these topics. I often wonder myself why people use it as if it was a chat or a "Tinder" kind of aplication. If you please don't respect the amazing idea that is Couchsurfing, don't misuse it. People should respect people under any circumstance... otherwise we cannot complain about the world and all the problems around us. Thank you.))

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I belive the world can be better and should be better and Couchsurfing is a very good way of practising this philosophy.

Interests

I am interested in learning new cultures and meeting open-minded-respectful people. Sharing good ideas with the world and becoming a better person every possible day.
