Olá! My name is Janaina, I work with multimidia design for e-learning courses and I do love so much visual art. I have 2 cats, Zooey and Django! I live in downtown São Paulo, my apartment is small but you will be really welcome. I love reading, listening music, go to museums, walking, watching movies and having a good chat. I love travel, meeting new people, and learning new things! I love to draw, it's what I do when I have time (draw, painting, etc). I love learning new things and now I am studing french (I am loving it!). Before I was studing a little bit of music (trumpet). I like artesanal beer, wine, juice and water! LOL. My dream is when I finish my postgraduate to study diving (I really love to be in contact with nature, specially the sea!).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and make new friends. I always like to know different cultures, so I decided to work abroad some years ago. Now I want to meet people, practice languages, and learn new things and hear your history.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music, I really enjoy the Brazilian ones, like Jackson do Pandeiro, Luiz Gonzaga, Dominguinhos, this style is called forró, but I'm open minded to other styles and not just from Brazil. I like some jazz, like Marsalis. About movies, I like Fellini and Truffaut a lot, Kubrick (used to because I didn`t watch them for a while, but I still love them). The last ones that I see and I love it! A Vantagem de Ser Invisível, In to the wild, A troca, Tomboy, O fabuloso destino de Amelie Poulin, Lenningrado. Books, I like science, novel. Now I`m reading a novel and I also like graphic novels a lot.
About books, now I am reading Economia da Consciência, but I also like Pablo Neruda, Mario Vargas Llosa, Marjane Sartrapi, and books about art, mythology, design, etc...
About music as I am studing french I am listening a lot of french music, like ZAZ, I falling in love! I host some people who loves hip hop and I start to listen more, and I enjoy a lot! Like Keny Arkana, Anita Tijoux, Calle 13, etc.. And yes I do love hipster music as well, lol, like Onda Vaga from Argentina.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

in the past - The most amazing thing I've done in my life was living for eight months on a ship, waking up in a different country every day and living with people from so many different nationalities.

But now it was diving with sharks in Providencia Colombia!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a little bit of music, which I'm also learning, so I can teach you that. I also work with graphic design and I like arts and crafts, I would love to learn about new cultures, learning diferents way to cook (but I have to be realistic, I don`t cook very well.. but I can try). I like to ride a bike. Etc...
