Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling is wonderful. Getting on the road, going from place to place, knowing the sites you used to dream about when you were younger. But, even though good guides and travel tips can be found out there, no tip is like the one that comes from locals, people who live, experience the place in a daily basis and know how to appreciate the beauties of the city beyond of what is written on a journal.
There are also times in which travelling - in the moving sense of the word - is not possible, for several reasons. But travelling experience is not just made of... travelling. Meeting people is getting to know the world without walking a mile.
In summary, I like to travel like a local. And I love meeting new people. So, I'm in Couchsurfing for that.

Interests

It's easier to say what I'm not interested. From Religion to Politics, from machines to the Environment. If you have a passion and you want to share it with me, you're more than welcome to do so.

Besides that, I'm particularly interested in music, literature, movies, travelling and mental health.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

when I was 15, I left my parents house to study at a boarding school in the city of Rio de Janeiro (about 1 200 km away). It changed my life completely. I was a small town girl, with small dreams, and no idea of how things work outside that -never leave the town- culture. I met people from all over Brazil at school and made the best friends I could ever had.
Much of my insatiable desire of getting to know the world comes from it.
