Hello! :)

My name is Elise and I am from California, but Portugal is home <3

For six months I lived and worked at a hostel in Porto, Portugal, and now I am teaching English in São Paulo through Workaway :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To exchange languages, make new friends around the world, share my passions, share beers, grow my humanity, find out where all of the good places to dance are at, and more?! :)

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fallen in love ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really looking for someone to practice Portuguese with! In exchange, I can help you with English :)

I would also really love to learn how to surf! :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

An adventurous spirit and open-mindedness! If there's anything you've ever wanted to do but no one was down to do it with you, then I'm your girl! Let's go! :)

I can also cook ;)
