Hi! I’m Leticia, a Brazilian who fell in love with surfing and somehow with snowboarding (yes, I know, not the typical Brazilian thing!), and everything outdoors.

I believe the best way to explore the world is through adventure and meeting new people along the way.

I’ve been practicing law for over 10 years, but don’t let the lawyer title fool you—I’m still that curious, thrill-seeking soul who loves to connect with others and explore new places.

I’d love to swap stories, or maybe even hit the slopes together!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here on Couchsurfing because I believe that the best way to experience a new place isn’t just through sightseeing, but through connecting with locals and hearing their stories. Traveling is not just about exploring new destinations, but about creating meaningful connections, learning from others, and sharing unique experiences.

I’ve always preferred the authenticity of staying with people who know the ins and outs of their city—whether it’s finding hidden spots only locals know about, sharing laughs over a homemade meal, or just exchanging stories about life and adventures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to share stories from my travels and adventures, or just my experiences as a Brazilian exploring the world. I can offer a fresh perspective on life in Brazil, share local tips, and maybe even teach you a bit of Portuguese! I enjoy cooking, so I’d love to prepare a meal or snack from my country. Most of all, I’m always up for great conversations and good laughs.
