Heyah, I'm a student from Brazil (Translation - UFU), currently in Köln for a Winterkurs (happy recipient of a DAAD scholarship), but I dare not write in German yet. :P I’m supposed to be a great traveler, but my strategy in life is, whenever I wanna go on more interesting vacations, I just move 😂 It’s worked so far, and I got the chance to live in Seattle for a year, Ottawa for 5 months and now in Köln for 2 months. I’ve been away from Brazil since July and the one thing that has kept the homesickness at bay and my head in the right place is the people I’ve met along the way (I can honestly say that since I left Brazil I’ve been an active member of three different families, and am now building a relationship with a forth one).

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Cuz helping other people and being able to count on other people’s help when needed is what life is all about (and cuz I still visit/go to incredible concerts with a surfer who stayed on my couch some good 5 years ago).

Intereses

If you don’t have the time, don’t ever mention great white sharks or a-ha around me.

• crystals
• orienteering
• walking around
