Hey! I’m Elaine 🇧🇷

I’ve been traveling around Brazil (and beyond) with my chihuahua, Robertinho 🐶

I’m curious, open-minded and genuinely interested in people and their stories. Strongly against xenophobia, misogyny, racism or any kind of intolerance. I believe traveling is about respect, exchange and real connections.

I’m extroverted and love deep conversations about life, feelings, choices and the whys of everything. At the same time, I value calm moments, good energy and meaningful presence.
I love exploring local restaurants, cafés and bars, feeling the real vibe of a place, not just passing through. For me, a perfect night usually ends with a cold beer 🍺, good talks and shared life stories.

I’m a digital nomad, content creator and forever learning, including English. So yes… if you’re a perfectionist, you might suffer a little.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel alone 99% of the time so why not to know new people?

Learn: Who you are and what you “see”
Share: Stories, travels, tragedies and joys.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to talk about the life!!!! So anything you want to share or talk about will be fine: from weather to deep thoughts about the last movie you saw, it's fine. I can also share with you some stories about me, some things about my culture and the history of my country. I am open to almost all kind of conversations, but have no problem at all with sharing silence as well.
