CURRENT MISSION

Currently, to learn Portuguese. In life? Still figuring that out..

ABOUT ME

I am a student and dancer from San Jose, CA (a city in northern California near the beach and an hour south of San Francisco). I attend school at the University of Oregon and am currently studying in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. I love to travel, be outdoors, watch movies, ride my bike, camp, and so much more. I'm always looking for new adventures: places to go/people to meet. Traveling and meeting people from other countries has opened my eyes to how big the world is. I just want to make the most of my time and see as much of the world as I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to couch surfing, but I like to share my life with others. I love the premise behind the project (and behind almost all things that bring people from different walks of life together). I hosted a french student in high school and learned so much from the experience. I hope to get the opportunity to become more involved and contribute to Couch Surfing as well.
