CURRENT MISSION

Hello! I am 31 years old, living and studying in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. I am working on my PhD in Anthropology, and enjoy teaching part-time as well. I am lucky enough to have found a nice house to live in, and would like to share the extra room with travelers who come to Rio and want to experience Santa Teresa.

ABOUT ME

I'm a San Francisco native who grew up in the Mission district. I enjoy reading, writing, exploring and studying photography.

PHILOSOPHY

Be compassionate whenever it’s possible. It’s always possible.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I like to host travelers when I'm not on the road, and share with them whatever I can.
I really love the experience of meeting a local. It changes how I travel, and certainly helps me learn more about what things are like below the surface.

When I’m not traveling, I love hosting people and taking them around the city (or if I’m busy with school, being able to hang out briefly when I get back from studying).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was in Brazil for the World Cup in 2014 and I couchsurfed through Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. It was an incredible experience! I made a lot of friends!

Interesses

Reading, writing, playing my guitar, and studying. Yes, I enjoy studying :) I tutor math at a community college in Berkeley and I have to constantly review to keep up with my students. It gets to be fun after a while!

I also enjoy exploring the world, and eating lots of good food. I’m always happy to try new things!

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

Love to dance, watch all kinds of movies and of course, read books. I have a problem with collecting more books than I can read.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

One night in Yosemite Valley I saw a white rainbow (A moonbow) it was by far one of the most incredible things I have witnessed in my life.
If you like, I can tell you the story in person.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

The world is an amazing place to live, try and see as much of it as possible, and always, always, always do something that will improve the world for future generations. If you enjoyed it, make sure to take care of it, so someone else can too.

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões

Music, books, food, laughs, history, I'm happy to share whatever I can with people.
