Hi!!
I'm Mari, a travelling Brazilian woman (when I am on vaccation 😅), children's teacher, friendly and curious person.
I like human beings, human culture in its diversity.
I like to collect great encounters and connections between people.

But I know how the world can be difficult... Colonialism existed and still exists and the world is very unequal. But I wouldn't choose to be born anywhere else. I love my culture, my people and more than ever I'm feeling Latin American (it's crazy but Brazilian people in general don't consider themselves Latin American 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️)

In recent years I have met dear people from different parts of the world and this has reorganized my identity and my feelings of brotherhood. I value that a lot.

At my first time here many men were offering me accommodation. If you are man, I really appreciate your kindness, but I still prefer hosting by women. And, of course, I feel interested in meeting people in general with a cultural and friendship way because friendship is something that the more we share, the more we receive.
Last year I accepted go out for tours with 2 men in two different places and both were very insistent on kissing me and this stuffs. It was very unpleasant, one of them even changed his attitude towards me (which was previously nice and friendly) because I refused him.
I know very well about prejudices against Brazilian women or Latin women in general and if you just want to try to have sex with me, don't even contact me. Let it be very clear!

I am a enthusiastic about arts and culture in general, so I know a lot about my own (Brasilian Culture) and I get very happy when people have genuine interest about it. I love going out away seeing all the diversity around the world, so I've been traveling as much as I can and I want much more because I met better who I am, my identity, when I look outside of myself.

This June i am going to Europe for the second time and I'm very excited about it!
My route is Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Prague, Zurich, Marseille, Madrid and Lisbon.
