I love traveling and learning about people and cultures! I am studying Intercultural Peacebuilding and Anthropology. I also love learning languages and cooking and eating good healthy food. My mother is from Brazil and my father is from the U.S. In August I’m getting married to the love of my life! He’s going back and forth big island and Oahu so it’s kind of tricky when I can host, also because I’m in school and also because my student housing only allows girls to stay there. But down to hang out when I’m free!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just think it’s cool to share and exchange something with strangers... it restores my faith in humanity! I also love to travel and meet people but don’t have a ton of money to do it and don’t like to be a tourist.
