CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to let my dreams carry as far as they can and to meet great people and to indulge in new experiences along the way.

ABOUT ME

I'm the quintessential Libra, or else, a perfect balance. On the outside, I have it all together, but on the inside, I'm a huge mess of craziness.

PHILOSOPHY

Somos imperfeitos, mas somos.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Right now, since I travel so much and was still in school not too long ago, I haven't participated really at all but I am hoping to get back! Recently did a trip to Montreal and that was awesome..so now I've had 4/5 positive couchsurfing experiences!

Interests

Funk carioca, forró, trying to get the body I've always wanted, speaking Portuguese, telenovelas , meeting people from around the world, reflecting on how lucky I am to have what I have back in the United States, realizing how my year in Brazil taught me more about life and myself than mostly all of my years at Georgetown.

Photography, writing, hip hop, Polynesian dancing, traditional Filipino dance, Bhangra, cooking, curries, desserts, tocino, seaweed, lychee, coconut, pineapple, pomegranate, hotness, beauty, sophistication, social justice, models, helping others, others, and myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I saw a performance at the Cidade do Samba in Rio,I remember tears coming to my eyes and me wanting to be a Brazilian just so that I could truly and fully take part of the experience not as an outsider, but as an insider.

I also did whitewater rafting in Florianopolis, Brazil. Insane!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a pretty good cook. So that =) I can also samba, haha. Maybe I could show you the flight attendant safety demonstration as well.
