ABOUT ME

Hello there! Fernanda here, a free spirited, vibrant and cheerful 32-year-old Brazilian lady, looking for any opportunity of adventure. =D

I see myself as a mature, open-minded, friendly and quick learn person. I am always happy, always willing to try new things and love to have lots of laughs!! I love to explore and I have lots of fun meeting new people!!
I am the kind of person who needs to see different things and undergo new experiences to keep myself motivated. I want to experience much of the world, learning more about myself, gaining experience and memories that will last forever and I truly believe this kind of experience is a good way of doing that! ;D

I have one partner in crime now - my little traveler baby Leo (@pezinho_na_estrada - instagram). I love showing him that different cultures around the world!

"Traveling is the great true love of my life. I have always felt that to travel is worth any cost or sacrifice. I am loyal and constant in my love for travel, as I have not always been loyal and constant in my other loves. I just don't care what it puts me through. Because I adore it. Because it's mine. Because it looks exactly like me. It can barf all over me if it wants to - I just don't care." Elizabeth Gilbert - Eat, Pray, Love.

PHILOSOPHY

Living to find emotion.

HAKUNA MATATA!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Showing my hosts/guests the world is full of great people..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was nervous about surfing/hosting, but after my first CS experience, oh boy, I'm never booking a hotel again! It's just amazing how people open up their house, life, heart..., expecting nothing material in return, just a good story, a smile - I am still amazed at the hospitality and generosity of my hosts during the ever-so-brief time I was with them. - I would say that Couchsurfing has changed my opinion about humanity.

Interests

I have some interests and these include: photography, reading, going to the beach, hanging out with my friends and family, meeting new people and so on. But there is no doubt that biology is my passion, mainly zoology and marine biology. Those are the areas that I want to continue studying, so one day I can make my dream come true, which is to work at the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. I joke saying that I would give up of biology just to be part of a rock band that travels around the world, because traveling and music are things that I also like a lot.
