I'm Paula, a 22 years old girl from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I just graduated in social comunication/publishing at Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and decided that I needed new experiences in my life before start to look for another job. I used to work in a publisher in Brazil, Grupo Companhia das Letras, part of Penguin Random House Group. Of course, I love books, my 5 cats (yes, I know, crazy cat lady haha), my family and friends, to travel and meet new people and new cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

Every place has something beautiful to tell.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet the cities from the view of someone who lives there. Also, I think that meet different people from different cultures is amazing and makes me grow a lot as a person.

Let's be friends! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Portuguese or English, how to cook Brazilian deserts, how to play with cats and we can talk about art and books too!

I would like to learn anything, really, from cook a traditional recipe to fishing. I can not read maps and this is awful so if you do, I would love to learn that.

We can share some memories, good times and a beer or some tea!
