About Me

Hey!
I am currently travelling six months in Brazil. Yes, only in Brazil. I think this country has so incredibly much to offer - in terms of nature, culture and mentality. Although I am only nineteen years old, which many people comment with a "Wow, how courageous of you!" (it's not), I have lived in the U.S. for a year during school, which is why I am pretty fluent in English (and unfortunately have a middle-eastern accent). I am doing this trip because after I graduated from high school I figured that I did not know what to do neither who I really am. I felt that I need time where I can confront myself with other perspectives, find my own position and be closer to my self.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I guess it's not too individual: First, because I love interesting personalities. Second, because think it is a very different experience to get to know a place you have never been to through a local. Third, I do not have money.

Interests

The big surprise: I really like to travel.
More interesting: I like to discuss contradicting stuff, I like to write and to read, to hike and to dance. Man, I like a lot more but I feel like this is what takes away the whole point of getting to know each other...

Music, Movies, and Books

Puf... I like in-obvious movies like Naked Lunch (William Burroughs). I like to exchange opinions about the meanings of what is employed in the movie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have managed to be so naive to work only two whole months in order to finance my six-moths trip..

Teach, Learn, Share

Never ever take a "Sim" of a Brazilian as equal with a "Yes" of a European.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The opportunity to stay at my home when you are in Berlin some day. Sorry, I don't get what I am supposed to write here - do we not share enough just getting to know another mind-opening perspective of live? For me, it is. So don't feel like you are obligated to offer kind of guided program to me if you really have enough to worry about right now!

Countries I’ve Lived In

Brazil, Germany, United States
