I'm laid back to some and high energy to others. I like adventures and my best trips are always the risky ones. I like to travel, particularly to latin countries. I speak Portuguese, but do not know Spanish yet. Maybe someone will teach me ;) . I love meeting people from around the world and Brazil is my second home.

I'm a big fish nerd, hoping to study them for the rest of my life; Strange aspiration, I know. I've also been deemed the crazy bird lady because I'm single living with a family of birds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for nice people to stay with and learn from. People have been really good to me as I travel and I much prefer forming new and possibly lifetime friendships over staying in uncomfortable lonely hotels.

Interests

I like hiking, camping, snorkeling and all the outdoorsy things. I love to travel and meet people from different cultures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Nature documentaries. I don't watch movies much. My attention span not fit for many movies. I love spiritual books like the Rumi Collection, the Holy Quran, etc. I also like Joe grey murder mysteries by Shirley Rousseau. Most of my time is spent reading science literature though :/

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a biologist, but I don't stop there. If you're into astrophysics, biogeochemistry, or really anything you're passionate about… share share share! I'm not going to say I'll understand it, but I love new ways of thinking. I'm also a culture fein.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company, friendship and I clean up after myself due to my OCD nature. If you have animals, I will also give them a loving if they like me.
