ABOUT ME

Hi, I am Paula and I currently live in Brasilia, the capital of Brazil. I am originally from the state of São Paulo, but I moved there in 2009 for work. I work for the federal government and I'm also trying to finish my PhD wich I started before getting my job here. I have lived in the US as a kid with my dad and for my MA in international development.This experience has showed me how rich the contact with other cultures can be. As part of the large international community of the university I was able to interact with people all over the world. Now, I take advantage of my two-month-a-year vacation to travel as much as I can!I am very easy-going and love a good conversation, specially accompanied by a good beer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted some really nice people and really enjoyed getting to know them a little. Unfortunately Brasilia does not get that many surfers... I also loved going to CS meetings in cities that I visited, so that even when I'm not surfing I can still meet cool CS people!

Interests

I love reading and watching movies. I also part of a vocal group that sings Brazilian music. I also enjoy a lot being with friends! I am very easy to please as long as I have good and interesting company!
