Hello everyone! 👋🏽

I'm Débora, but you can call me Deb.

I'm a Special Needs teacher from Brazil taking a gap year to travel the world and I would love to meet people in the places I go.

As I'm just starting out here, I realize I don't have many references. So I'll be more than happy to share my Instagram or videochat so you can confirm I'm not a bot!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel so lucky to be part of a community like here in CS! As part of my round-the-world trip, I'm here to connect with people from all different backgrounds and cultures, to learn from them and share experiences, and there's no better place than on this platform. For me, traveling isn’t just about places, but even more about the people I meet along the way!

Interests

Some of the things I enjoy doing there most are reading (the romance novel & poetry kind), hiking (or pretty much anything outdoors), dancing, exercising and singing (not that I do it well 😂).

Music, Movies, and Books

I can't choose just one favorite song, but my favorite genres are R and b and Afrobeats. I know I'm going to sound very basic, but I genuinely love the Harry Potter movies 😂 And I also can't choose just one favorite book, but I love "Mists of the Serengeti" and "Man's Search for Meaning". I love reading, so I'll try anything, but I have to say romance novels are a favorite mine.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
