Hello!

My name is Brianna and I am a California girl, born and raised, who somehow found herself here in Mozambique.

I graduated from University back in 2013 with my degree in Theatre Arts (emphasizing in playwriting) and Studio Arts (focusing on black and white film photography), and now have been living and working here in Cuamba as a Peace Corps Volunteer in the Health Sector for about 2 years.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, whether it's through hosting or being hosted, and couchsurfing seems like the perfect way to see the world whilst making a whole bunch of new friends.

Interessi

Reading is my forever love, though writing, photography, and drawing/design are all close seconds.
I grew up outdoors, going on roadtrips with my family, so hiking, camping, and exploring the world are where I'm happiest.
Baking and cooking, on the other hand, are newfound joys that I've discovered here in Mozambique, as well as my passion for learning new languages.

Back in the states I Irish Danced for many, many years, until rehearsals for theatre got more demanding and I found myself having to choose between the two. Regardless of that fact, solo dance parties in my house are a regular occurence. Between graduation from University and leaving for the Peace Coprs, i had just discovered a passion for aerial silks that I'm looking forward to developing and starting up again,

Musica, film e libri

Well now that's just not fair. How do you choose??

If I was forced to pick some favorites

Books:
I absolutely adore the Harry Potter Series
The Chronicles of Narnia and The Phantom Tollbooth will always hold a special place in my heart.
Life of Pi, Water for Elephants, The Fault in Our Stars, the Unwind Series, Sabriel Trilogy, I'll Give You the Sun, The Little Prince, A Song of Ice and Fire

Movies:
Disney or Disney/Pixar anything is always fantastic, and I have a soft spot for disaster movies and superhero movies, though I'll watch just about anything. Or well, anything but scary movies. Can't handle those.

TV Shows:
Doctor Who, BBC Sherlock, Firefly, Elementary, Once Upon a Time, Friends, Planet Earth, Game of Thrones

Music:
As a Theatre Major it should come as no surprise that I love musical soundtracks. Rent, The Book of Mormon, Hamilton, Wicked, Les Miserables, The Last Five Years, Jersey Boys. Love them all.
Besides that, chill acoustic music or anything I can dance to is what you'll find playing in my house.
Ed Sheeren, Andy Grammer, Jon Bellion, Adele, Bon Iver , George Ezra, A Great Big World will play right alongside Maroon 5, Stromae, Beyonce, CHVRCHES, Bruno Mars, Jason Derulo, Taylor Swift, Anselmo Ralph, Claudio Ismael, etc.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Not gonna lie, Peace Corps and living in Mozambique has been pretty amazing. If I can choose the past two years and this whole experience as my "one amazing thing" then I'm good.
If I have to choose just one moment...well gosh , how much time do you have?

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

If you like homemade brownies, banana bread, or cheesecake then I am your girl.
Besides baked goods, I have loads of stories, both heart-warming and downright ridiculous, to tell about my time here in Mozambique, and life in general, and of course I would love to hear yours!
