Hello, my name is Jacques. I am a cook and a musician, who is about to travel to Salvador, Brazil. I plan to do some volunteering in Salvador, and want to immerse myself in Brazilian life, and speak as much Portuguese as I can! I have some beginner to intermediate level of Portuguese, having lived in Rio de Janeiro for 6 months a few years ago. I have a deep interest in Brazilian culture particularly the music, and I hope to connect with some local musicians to take some lessons and to jam!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am on here to find a starting off point for my 3 month stay, to speak to a local who can share with me some info about their hometown.
