Overview
About Me
My fiancee and I are in Torino (Italy) to study, but we also want to travel and meet new friends around the world. We hope to host as soon as we go back to Brazil. We think that this is a nice way to make friends and share a little bit of our culture and maybe of our cooking, our music and everything that we can share.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
We are on couchsurfing in order to learn with different cultures and meet different places.
We expect to teach everything we could about our culture and also about what we have been learning and studying in USP (University of São Paulo). We also expect to learn with you. : )
