Hi! Im Stephanie a Brazilian/Puerto Rican/Floridian. My philosophy in a nutshell is: "To allow my life to be a statement of love and compassion- and where it isn't, that is where my work lies."

I love learning languages and speak Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and English.
I also adore SCUBA diving in Florida with family and singing. I've been singing almost my whole life in front of large audiences! I love getting into deep conversation and belly laughs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make friends and learn from others' experiences! I want to see the world and meet you! Traveling allows me to better understand people and truly be amazed by all they have to teach.
