CURRENT MISSION

Travel as much as I can while making connections around the world!

ABOUT ME

I've been back in the US for about five years now. I moved from South America where I served as a Peace Corps volunteer in Paraguay, it was amazing to say the least. Afterwards, I move to Florianopolis, Brazil so I can learn the Brazilian culture and learn Portuguese. I arrived there without knowing anyone, with basic Portuguese, and my back pack filled with only clothes! I left with my love for Brazil and meeting some great friends and amazing people. I love meeting new people and getting to know different parts of the world. My friends always say that I enjoy life to the max, I'm outgoing, and if there is music playing I´ll be dancing. My family and friends asked why I moved to Brazil...my response: why not?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Looking forward to hosting/staying with more people and making new friends from all over the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had a few experiences surfing and hosting and they have all been great!

Interests

Running, marathons, beaches, dancing, making new friends, traveling, sand volleyball, relaxing, cooking, drinking, eating, music festivals, my favorite is electronic music!!

Chicago is one my favorites cities, especially in the summer. I love keeping active in this city, running or biking along the lake front trail or swimming in the cold lake water. Since I've been back I've really gotten into yoga, exploring the rooftops, bars, and neighborhoods, and always looking to try some new food.
