Hey! My name is Melanie, I'm 28 years old, Brazilian. I've been living in São Paulo ever since I was born, I'm passionate about my city and about my culture. I love soccer and I make a living with that, I've been working as a sportswear designer for over 7 years, designing goods for soccer teams and training brands, such as Kappa. If you are as passionate for sport as I am, we totally should meet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Due to my work, I've had to travel abroad many times, I've been to China, Europe, South Africa and I've found a passion for traveling. I could make friends, met people, places and rediscover myself and my own culture many times. I'm on Couchsurfing to share experiences and spread a little bit about my city. Some of the best experiences I've ever had were during some trips, so I truly believe that we could have a better world if we would travel more often. I cannot host anyone, because I don't my own place, sorry. However, I'd love to show you around.
