My name is Isabela, but everyone calls me Bela.

I was living in Belgium to learn Dutch, a very complicated language but that has its beauty. I just arrived from there.

It was my first time away from home, a really special experience. The paths are opening up more and more. I feel that I'm blooming.

Now I want to know and see other places in the world and I found an opportunity for it through the Couchsurfing;

I don’t smoke and I am vegetarian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Really good friends of mine had wonderful experiences with Couchsurfing as a guest and a host.

I think that is a different way of traveling, it's cheap, you know a little more the culture from the place and have the chance to create new friendships.

It's an amazing feeling to meet new people, new cultures and ways of beholding life! I would love to meet you if you ever come to Brazil!

Interests

I love to cook and try new foods.

I always have a book in hands and a notebook in order to write reflections, poetry, stories.

I love arts, to visit museums, to go to concerts and to the theater. Is a delight for me to spend a sunny afternoon in the park.

I like to go to bars and alternative clubs where there’s good music to dance a lot and a nice environment to meet new people.

I have no religion, but I practice meditation every day.
