Description
Hi, I'm a Mechanical Engineering student who enjoys solving challenges and puzzles and reading books about science and nature. I love being surrounded by nature and have a particular interest in insects, fungi, and recently, mosses. Even though I have not yet had the opportunity to travel abroad, I am eager to explore different countries, try new foods, and have unique experiences. I have an open mind to trying new things and possibly discovering new hobbies, like carpentry and gardening.
Languages
Languages spoken
Portuguese: Fluent
German: Intermediate
English: Intermediate
Spanish: BeginnerMore details about my language interests
I have been learning German for almost four years now and would like to practice with native speakers whenever the opportunity arises. I am comfortable absorbing the language through everyday interactions, even if formal language lessons are not available. I have a good understanding of spoken German but still need a bit more practice with speaking. My English is not yet fluent, but I can communicate effectively. I am also open to speaking Portuguese with anyone interested in practicing or experiencing the language. My Spanish skills come from its similarities with Portuguese. For fluent Spanish speakers, my Spanish might be a bit confusing, but I am able to communicate and understand basic conversations.

More details about your skills
I am used to doing household chores (although I have just basic skills in cooking) and have no problem with human interaction, as I come from a family of five, with two brothers. However, I want to improve my social skills to their best.
I play the piano as a hobby and take part in a choir at my church. I have some experience in camping, as I have been part of a Pathfinders Club (a club similar to the Scouts) for almost five years, and I have practiced volleyball and swimming for a long time.
I like animals and have had dogs, bunnies, hamsters, fish, and birds (not particularly at the same time). I have never owned large animals, like horses and cows, but I am willing to try if the opportunity arises.
In addition, as a Mechanical Engineering student, I have developed a strong foundation in Math, Physics, problem-solving, and analytical thinking.

What else ...
I am open to engaging with hosts and their communities through conversations, games (my favorite is detective stories, such as the card game Black Stories), workshops, and events, or simply by listening to their stories and experiences.
