Portas Abertas By Aline Campbell

Decent Essays
My favorite book is ''Portas Abertas: Três meses na Europa sem um centavo no bolso''. It's about a woman that traveled for 92 days in Europe and visited 14 countries without money.
Aline Campbell is a Brazilian plastic artist woman that decided to live a unique experience just believing in the goodness of strangers. She traveled for three months where she took rides and stayed in the house of strangers, she just bought the airline tickets and flew to Germany to start this adventure.
She tell us in the book her great moments while she was traveling, like friends that she made while taking rides to go for another cities, also the places she visited, and how she got food and houses to stay, or her romance with a guy and even her difficult moments
