Hey! My name is Vanessa, I am a curious, spontanous and open-minded person.I enjoy spending time with friends and family, I love meeting new people - such as you reading this. I wouldn't want live without doing yoga and sports (especially swimming, hiking and dancing), making and listening to music, reading fantasy, cooking and going out.
I'm interested in science and culture and passionate about making the world a better, more sustainable place.
Travelling is the most beautiful luxury to me, an opinion we share in this community I guess.. I like being active and outdoors, enjoying beautiful scenery (the beach, hills, and everything in between - as long as there are more locals than tourists) and not too hectic places in cities.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

I cherish meeting future friends via hosting and travelling, getting to know and experiencing each others way of life. I'm looking forward to meeting you and showing you around because I enjoy the experience of seeing your hometown with new eyes. As soon as my new flatmates move in I'll ask them to afford a spare mattress together, I'd to be able to host you as well.
When travelling, I want to experience it as a friend who is visiting, not like a foreign tourist.
Can't wait to meet you! :)

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Co-creating a crowd funding project to improve small farmers' access to organic agriculture certificates. The first very special experience abroad I've had was spending a year as an exchange student in a highschool in Adelaide, Australia. Also did my masters in Sweden in a very international community, and loved learning from so many cool people!

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

I'd love to help you improving your German and English, teach you yoga and cooking. I enjoy learning new languages, sports and recipes, so I'm happy to learn anything especially in these areas from you.
I'd be happy to trade stories with you about travelling and other kinds of experiences, looking forward to getting to know you. :)
