ABOUT ME I'm Malina, a longterm traveller now in Brazil. I'm currently staying in Curitiba. I can't host here, but I'd like to meet new people. I could meet up with travellers passing through but my main goal is to meet people here for longer and connect to the community. I enjoy hiking, historical places, exploring, singing, creating art, meeting new people, organising events and dancing. I am following my inspirations, living my dreams, and celebrating the moment. CURRENT MISSION Discover Brazil PHILOSOPHY Go beyond borders. The parts of ourselves that we project are reflected back to us. What you put energy into will return to you. Focus on what you want to see more of in the world. This moment, right now, is filled with potential. Find beauty and joy in every day. Share your gifts. We all make an impact. Make a positive one.
