Hi, I’m Lina — a Brazilian from the countryside of Minas Gerais, living in Salvador, Bahia for quite a long time now. I’m a Forest Engineer working for the state government, doing my best to protect what’s left of our forests while facing the powerful agribusiness lobby.

I love traveling and being around fellow travelers. I’m curious and genuinely enjoy listening to people talk about all kinds of subjects. I have an open mind and I’m very much against the current far-right trend.

I respect all religions and like learning about them, even though I don’t follow any personally.

I’m great company for a night full of music and dancing, but maybe even better for a quiet night in with good food and maybe a glass of wine.

I love filling my house with friends and sharing food and good vibes — but I also need space and silence sometimes to recharge my social batteries.

I’m easygoing, and in my home the only real rule is respect.

I don’t host for just one night, and I also don’t host for more than four.

Nothing personal — I’m simply not looking to host people who are only trying to save money on accommodation.

And just to be clear: I’m not into the idea of hosting or being hosted by someone who reached out with other intentions in mind. There are better apps out there for dating.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to live unique experiences and connect with kind and interesting people. I love escaping the usual tourist path, discovering new music and recipes, and getting a glimpse into local homes and daily routines. I truly enjoy bringing new people into my lively group of friends — it always makes for great stories and good times!
