I’m Andrea, a senior at Florida International University located in the heat of Miami, Florida. I study Public Relations along with a minor in Social Media and E-Marketing Analytics and an area of specialization in Brazilian Portuguese Language and Culture.

I have traveled around the world, exploring more than 20 countries to date. I enjoy adventure, great food and connecting with beautiful souls around the globe. I speak three languages: English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese. I currently have two jobs, which are: working for Red Bull and being a jewelry designer for a handmade jewelry company on Etsy. I balance both jobs while still being a full-time student.

My goal is to visit as many countries, cities and states around the world that I can in my lifetime. I am hoping to find like minds and giving people who will let me into their homes. I am looking for a safe + welcoming journey and hope to enjoy each trip, adventure + meal in the city I come across.

May peace and love always prevail in our universe,
xx

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I love underground music. I enjoy all types of music, in any language. I am not picky. I enjoy keeping an open mind and open experiences.

Movies:
Too many to count! I love romance movies, comedies and action movies!

Books:
Not a big reader, more into movies. The only books I truly enjoy are self-help books that help you grow and learn as a person.
