CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying the Nordeste of Brasil :)

ABOUT ME

I am an English teacher from Buffalo, New York! I received my certifications in the USA but have spent the past couple years travelling the world... and working of course :). I currently live in Recife, Brasil. I enjoy practicing jiu-jitsu, dancing, and scuba diving. I love learning new things, and sometimes I overwhelm myself with too many activities!! I love meeting new people and I hope to make some great friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting similar minded people as myself - people who love to explore and meet others!! I am available to host in Recife. I am not able to host in Buffalo, but I am open to show you around :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy satire and magical realism. My favorite author is Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and my tattoo is actually inspired by his 100 Years of Solitude! I also love books by Vonnegut.!

I'm not much of a movie person.. I will probably upset you on the lack of films I've seen - I apologize in advance.

I enjoy all types of music! I love to dance, so I enjoy a lot of latin music. I also really love Florence and the Machine and Red Hot Chili Peppers.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Kilimanjaro was probably the most challenging thing I've ever done!

Teach, Learn, Share

Some English and maybe some dance moves!
