Hello, nice to meet you, I'm Maria Clara, a new traveler here. 🤗

So, about me, I am Brazilian and I love to travel, so I intend to see much more of this country and all the world. I lived my entire life in the state of Rio de Janeiro and just love this wonderful city. 🌎

I love nature 🌳, hiking, camping, but also enjoy life in the big city visiting bars, restaurants, museums and parks. I am passionate about learning new things and understanding more about the traditions and cultures of each place.

✅ About deal with me: I'm an extroverted person, really easy going, I love being a good listener and share my experiences when I become comfortable. I am very clean, polite, organized, respectful and great to follow rules. I have never had problems with anyone that I used to live together or that I hosted.

Furthermore, I love to read, and do sports, I love to travel of course and to talk! I speak a lot, and I think I'm a good listener.

If you want to know more, feel free to ask, it will be great to meet you. ✌️

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

🎼 I am open to all kinds of music, but I really Samba and MPB (Brazilian Popular Music).

📚 About books, I prefer the ones with magic, fantasy, adventures, romances and historical, such as Percy Jackson, Julia Quinn, Sarah J. Maas and some Brazilians classic books.

🎞 Well, movies are something that I really love to do with other people but not by myself, so I enjoy watching everything and I always do it with my family and friends, but I don't have a favorite movie or favorite gender movie.
