CURRENT MISSION

Hello. I'm Paula and I love to travel, but I like more than I have money. So, CouchSurfing is my way to do what I like saving money and meeting new people. Of course, who doesn't enjoy know new people and share experiences and culture?

ABOUT ME

My name is Paula and everybody in USA has a difficult to say my name. But it's ok. I don't know how to say "world" either!
I'm from Brazil, but I've been living in USA since March. USA is a good place, even without my favorites food and fresh juice.
Fortunally, I live in Texas, which is a hot place (no snow), cause I used to live in Brazil, where you can melt almost all the year long.
I'm very funny and extroverted, that's why I get along really easily. Or else I would not have come to live with an American host family, which I love so much!
My favorite hobby is dance! But I also like reading, watching movies and just chatting with my friends (in person or on line).
I'm not good at sports at all, but I enjoy bowling.
I have a big heart, so I always try to make everybody around me happy. Because happiness is contagious, you know...

PHILOSOPHY

I believe we can make a better world. How? Beeing nice with everyone and saving our planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

CS is something really good!
I wish I could host someone, so I would be able to know more people from a lot of different places. But since I already have a host family (and I don't have my own house), I just can participate surfing.
I hope to be a good surfer for you.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I heard about CouchSurfing just now, in USA, so I didn't have my very own CouchSurfing Experience, but my au pair friends said it's always a wonderful time!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I think be an au pair is an amazing thing I'm doing! Leave your house, your family, your friends, your dogs, your boyfriend, your job to come to USA and live with a "strange" family isn't crazy enough for you?

Teach, Learn, Share

Before paint your nails with a bizarre color (as I like!), paint with white color, so your nails will be more colorful!
