CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the fullest, build community, and "be a hummingbird" (See this video; seriously, watch it! https://youtu.be/IGMW6YWjMxw )

ABOUT ME

I'm a university graduate with a global mind and a passion for environmental and social justice. I thoroughly enjoy experiencing other languages and culture (I studied both at university), and I want to experience the world!

PHILOSOPHY

We are put onto this earth not to destroy our surroundings, but to enhance them. I seek to enhance my own life and the lives of those around me wherever I can.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed , and I've hosted too...
I have met some really awesome people through CouchSurfing, making friends along the way throughout the world. It's such a great project and I think quite highly of it. :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted a few people and surfed a few times. Every experience has been positive so far, and some of them have been life-changingly awesome! =)
I have some really great friends now, all thanks to CouchSurfing!

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Teaching. I've gotten some volunteer experience in a classroom and some summer camp education experience. The most amazing thing is when you provide a student with knowledge that they both desire and appreciate. Better yet, seeing them apply the techniques for critical thinking with which you've helped them become more adept. Seeing a student, a young mind, benefit from your teaching really is the most rewarding experience ever.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

I would like to be able to help others practice their English, and I would like others to help me practice my other languages (French, Italian, etc.).
I also love learning how to cook dishes from other countries.

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões

I always bring a bottle of wine (if the host drinks wine; otherwise, another beverage) and love to chat, learning about the host & the host's city. I love sharing stories from my own life and experiences, too. I also love to host someone in my home who previously hosted me in theirs.
