ABOUT ME

Hello!
My name is Maira, 24..
I'm a happy and positive person, I enjoy making new friends all the time. I am a photography lover and my passion is to travel and to learn about new cultures and languages. I always want to know more, to see more, to share, to learn and to give away what I know.

''One's destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things."

PHILOSOPHY

Respect and kindness above all.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently majoring in Tourism and I live in Rio de Janeiro..

I find this website interesting because this way I can get in touch with people from all over the world!

I reallly love Rio and I love to go all around the city to see new sites , to photograph and to go out for a snack or for dinner and have some of Rio's best things to eat and to drink, like Açaí, Pão de Queijo, Caipirinha and Feijoada!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

While I was in Boston in october '12, I decided to try and use couchsurfing. I stayed at Nick's amazing couch for a couple of nights in Cambridge (sadly he doesn't live there anymore) and it was a great and memorable experience! :)
