About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Brazil please 😍🇧🇷

ABOUT ME

Go with the flow personality, aspiring world traveler in a nutshell. I'm a biologist who loves the outdoors but also enjoys an urban lifestyle.

PHILOSOPHY

I grew up an introvert but I've learned to become outgoing and a social butterfly as an adult. I love to listen as much as I like to talk.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Any of these: cup of coffee, see a monument, eat some street food, crash on your couch or my own.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to couchsurfing and can't wait to get started. So far I've gone to one event in my city and surfed in Hong Kong and Macau. I've had nothing but wonderful experiences so far from my short time on CS.
