Hi! I'm Julia. I was born in Brazil and when I was 10 I moved to Buenos Aires in Argentina, I have half of my family in each country.
I studied cinema and have independent projects but I've been working as a tour guide in Buenos Aires for 3 years now in a really cool agency called Lunfarda Travel. I love my job, it pushes my curiosity and connects me with people with different perspectives. I also teach Portuguese.
I am also part of an Arts collective called Kukily. And I'm really passionate about art and activism.
Places I've been: Brazil and Argentina (still have a lot to see), Uruguay, Colombia, USA and Israel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couch surfing because I'm traveling with my Arts Collective since we won a residency in Germany and then will be on my own for a few days. I want to make the best out of this trip and have the possibility to get to know people.
