Hello! My name is Rayana Martins and with my husband(Paulo Roque dos Santos Junior) we just started traveling around the world in November, starting by Europe.

Our first stop was Madrid, Spain, for a week, which was incredible, and we hope to go back there again in the future.

After that we went to Vila Nova de Famalicão in Portugal where we stayed for two weeks. We discovered and visited many places in the city. And we also traveled to Guimarães and Braga to see all the wonderful places and views there are, and also see the places we only heard in history at school, but now we had the opportunity to see with our own eyes and even learn a lot more than we already knew.

After that we went to Vila Nova de Gaia, and we had our first Couchsurfing experience being hosted, it was a great experience. We were able to get to know Gaia, but also Porto. So we also went to many places in Porto.

From December 15th to January 14th we did a Volunteer work with many dogs in Castromonte, Valladolid/Spain.

And from January 17th to April we will be doing a Volunteer work in a farm working with horses in England, UK.

And after, we want to continue discovering this wonderful world.

We're a Brazilian couple. I am 27 years old, and he is 37 years old. We love to have fun, watch and go to soccer games, we love soccer in general, but of course mainly our teams(Cruzeiro and Corinthians), we also enjoy playing games. And in our trips, we love to get to know the history of the places and people, the monuments, museums, historical places. And together, we also enjoy having fun going to amusement parks and places where we can play and have fun.

We are doing our first trip together as a married couple hopping to connect with new people, new cultures, different languages, and we want to get to know many countries around the world.

Because of the opportunity to be close to locals and truly learn about their culture, language, daily life, things that usually a tourist wouldn't be able to learn.
