About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Change social inequality in Brazil. Learn from people and arts all over the world.

ABOUT ME
I write so much for my work and studies and when comes to write about me I don't really know what to say!he he
I´m easy going and love to travel and make new friends! Although I'm very active, I like to have a "true" experience when I'm doing something. In trips that happens a lot, if I feel that I have to stay longer in a place because I haven't really met the real life there I stay and chance my plans.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
