My name is Marina Finotelli but feel free to call me Nina :) I am an Industrial Engineering student passionate about innovation, simplification, social causes and animals. I am also part of the “Fábrica de Mentes” (Minds’ Factory - www.fabricadementes.com ) team with the main goal of helping people have extraordinary results through education. I love getting to know people and their stories, as well as travel and experience new cultures. I have the dream of being recognized by making the difference in the world. I have many dreams but the process of making them come true fascinates me!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Right now I am living in Mexico due to a scholarship and a sponsorship I got to study innovation and entrepreneurship. After learning so much, I felt that I should go to Silicon Valley to breathe this inspiring culture I've been reading about the past years and get to know people, their stories and, most of all, their dreams. I will arrive in San Francisco Airport on Nov 26th at 1:40pm and leave to Mexico from the same airport on Dec 10th at 3:40pm. I hope Couchsurfing will help me have this amazing experience by meeting interesting people and couch-surfing for a few days or even for the whole period of my time in Silicon Valley.

I would also love to hang out and help people in São Paulo area in Brazil :)
