I am new to couchsurfing, so I am looking forward to someone giving me a great first impression! That is why I have no references, no true experiences yet! But I can assure you I am very clean and organized; I only have a backpack and will not take up much of your space or time unless you have the desire to do things together!

I am 23 years old and traveling through South America! I will be in Rio for the next 3 weeks and am looking for a host in Copacabana! I run along the beach everyday, try to practice yoga and meditate when I can, and am always up for an adventure! I would love to learn Portuguese as well, and make a new friend for life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe the best way to learn about yourself is through others. I want to learn how different people and culture live, and how they share their positivity with others. I am interested in staying with someone who I can talk to and relate to, as well as adventure with a few times! Currently I am looking for hosts in Rio, ideally in the Copacabana area so I can continue to run on the beach every morning!

Interests

Sports, photography, trying new foods, walking around getting lost, learning new language, learning how to surf. I love the ocean and being around water more than anything! I'm an incredibly happy and caring person, and love learning anything new!
