About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to make a fool of myself in many languages

ABOUT ME

I´m living in Brazil with my husband and two sons. I have a degree in architecture, and plan to pursue my career in that field. I am also pursuing composing music, and film.

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to honor Christ Jesus. I draw near to God through the beauty of nature and design, and I seek to use these things to draw other people to God.

I have hosted, but now we don´t have any space... I could probably meet for coffee, at least.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't couchsurfed yet, but am looking forward to it!

Interests

Music- i play the keys/beat machine/violin. I sing and write music.
I love design- whether art, architecture, or industrial design.

I love technology
But not as much as you, you see
But I still love technology
Always and forever.
