I am half Brazilian and half American who was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Shortly after graduating college I decided to move to Madrid to work as an English teacher and lived there for 2 years. During that time I travelled throughout Europe and Spain and caught the travel bug. I am now exploring Costa Rica for the next 2 months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When travelling I usually stay in hostels or air bnb's, but now that I am more confident and experienced in travelling alone, I would like to take advantage of meeting people who live locally to have more personal interactions that can create a more unique travel experience.

Like many, I enjoy spending time in the outdoors and love to surround myself with people who share common interests.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my favorite experiences was walking the Camino del Norte de Santiago in Spain for 32 days. It was the most connected I have felt to nature and to myself.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very friendly and social and would love to exchange stories and life experiences with others and take interest in your lifestyle. I am a thoughtful and clean guest who will definitely chip in for food expenses and other things if necessary.
