Hello! My name is Rebecca Lima Dossantos but everyone calls me Becca! I have a Brazilian last name because my family comes from there. I learned to speak Portuguese because I was raised in a Brazilian community in Tampa, Florida. I am a first generation American and that is something that shaped me in a very specific way. I just finished getting my degree in Marketing at the University of Florida. However, much of my degree I chose to do abroad because I love to meet new people and get to know different cultures. I decided to do my third year in Madrid, and I did my last semester in Vina Del Mar, Chile. I am an adventure seeking, compassionate, and outgoing girl who gets along with anyone and everyone. I am figuring my way out and have tons to learn from other people and hopefully much to share with those who are willing to learn from me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friends have told me a lot about it, and I thought it would be amazing to meet people this way! Being in someones home is the ultimate way to fully immerse yourself in how a culture works, or what a person is like. I thought it would be interesting to try out!
