Hey there from Brooklyn, NY!
I am going to be working (Wwoofing) on an organic farm in Brazil in February and early March, but I am hoping to visit Rio de Janeiro before I head into the rainforest!

I have loved the people I've met through Couchsurfing in the past, and I enjoy traveling through the mode of cultural exchange and connection. I love to meet new people and learn about why people love the cities where they live. I am an easy-going traveler and will go with the flow - always down with spontaneous adventures, but I also appreciate chill time listening or playing music and sharing stories. Looking for hosts that are LGBTQ+ friendly, as it would be nice to check out the queer scene in their area. Looking to check out Carnival, but am a bit timid to do so as a solo female-presenting traveler. I'm not a wild partier, but I can also get down if that's the vibe!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To share in a platform based on mutual respect, hospitality, and worldwide community rather than monetary exchange.
