Hello! My Name is Fernanda, I'm 27 years old and from Brazil, Rio de Janeiro. I'm a carioca! I graduated from Law school and at the present moment I'm living in Nonsan (this countryside city near Daejeon) just studying Korean. On my free time, I enjoy learning about other cultures and languages, specially Korean, I've been studying for 2 years back in Brazil but now I got a scolarship here in Korea, so I'm hoping I can improve a lot, specially by connecting with local people and by having a practical experience. Also, I wish I could have more chances to practice my english and that's why I wanna be a traveler and a helper around the world! :) Hope I can meet and exchange lots of experiences with as much people as possible. Let's enjoy ourselves while learning new things about each other, shall we?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mainly: I want to get out of my comfort zone, and to learn to be a tolerant person by interacting with as many different people as possible

Interests

I like to cook and try recipes out, specially to prevent food waste. I also enjoy drawing when I'm stressed out or washing the dishes. Is changing hair colors a hobby? I also like to talk - a lot! I wanna discuss feminism, racism, international e local politics with you. I wanna learn with you and hear your opinion on matters! Debating is the way to find new perspectives and to learn to empathize. I wanna know what is your favorite color or band but I also wanna know what you think about the effects of capitalism on modern relationships. I wanna be shallow and also go deep and to build meaningful bonds with people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Hip hop, rap, brazillian funk, classic old glam rock but pretty much anything that has a cool beat and interesting lyrics. Not necessarily both, just one of them is fine. Which means if it's proper to shake some ass or to think about the meaning of life, I'm into it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't think I've have ever done anything amazing, really. Just your typical lazy, fun but not risky average girl. But I'm willing to change that.

Teach, Learn, Share

Currently I wanna become a super duper pro at korean, but I also wanna improve my English skills. But honestly, I'm ready for what you have to give me! In return, I can share my point of view, my craziness and blabbering and some cultural brazillian stuff :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A smile, a bedhair just after I wake up in all my glory and company in this lonely road that is life. Also, I'm always up to trying to cook, even without my Brazilian ingredients or kitchen utensils (since I got here at the uni, I've became a pro at microwave recipes)
