My name is Beatriz, but you can call me Bea.

In 2024, I decided to start traveling. Being in contact with different realities, people, cultures, and types of work inspires my personal journey, expanding my possibilities for self-knowledge and self-expression. I am curious and open-minded; what matters most to me is learning from other perspectives while following paths chosen with heart.

Nourishing myself and moving mindfully are important to me. I generally follow a vegetarian diet and love sharing good moments in the kitchen. I enjoy practicing activities connected with nature. I’m a passionate rock climber, but I also really enjoy running, dancing, yoga, meditation, reading, swimming, playing music...

I graduated with a degree in Physical Education and Sports from the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil, in 2022, and I have experience working with children, adults, and the elderly. I've also worked as a tour guide, kitchen assistant, receptionist, waitress and bartender in bars, restaurants, hotels. I’ve also been volunteering since 2024. I speak Portuguese, Spanish, and English.

I'm currently traveling through Italy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My main goal on Couchsurfing is to connect genuinely with people. I want to learn about you, from you, with you. I also love discovering hidden spots that only local people know.

As a surfer, I’m veeeery flexible and pretty good at following house rules. My day-to-day depends on my mood, I’m not so attached to plans. It will be a pleasure to share moments together, but if that’s not possible, it’s totally fine — I believe that the exchange will happen in its own way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've been listening more to Brazilian (older) music and the songs that the travelers I meet share with me. I enjoy exploring many music genres, fusions.

Lately, I've been enjoying watching documentaries.

I love reading.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share info about my culture, teach some Portuguese, Brazilian cuisine...

I can share my time, positive energy, partnership in hiking, climbing and other activities.

And I’m interested in developing new skills, so it will be a pleasure to learn everything you can teach me.
