CURRENT MISSION

Get Fluent In Portuguese and Live a little Pre-career

ABOUT ME

I can never remember to water my plants. I've killed thousands of them. I love candles but they make my eyes itch. I love traveling. I love to read - but I am truly passionate about book shopping. I could never keep up with the habit. I think bookshopping is my favorite thing to do...except shopping for school supplies. I also like trees. Paris, music, old movies, my birthday, mexican mochas, camping, and pumpkin pie, big dogs, my grandmothers hands, chocolate and berries when put together, chick flicks, the state of Bahia, Capixabas! and my first CS host, pasta, cheese, good books, good people, blues guitar, caipirinhas, walking benny (my dog) on mesa beaches, and beaches in general. American country music. That time of day just before dark when the trees turn black against the sky. I think that is my favorite thing of all.

PHILOSOPHY

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
-Robert Frost

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed twice, amazing both times.

I can't host right now, but I would love to show you around Santa Barbara, give you a ride when you most need it or get some coffee.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not enough!
I have only surfed twice, but met many surfers along my travels. I have yet to host - but my experiences have been AMAZING. I look forward to more!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

How does one answer this? I am always amazed by acts of honesty and generosity. Like a taxi driver I in Paris who drove all the way across town to deliver me my purse, passport, wallet and all left in the back seat.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn: How to make awesome food, LANGUAGES, history

Teach: uh oh. What can I teach? I will get back to you. I will always help with english. My portuguese is full of mistakes, but highly functional. So I can help with basic portuguese.
