Current Mission: Studing in Belo Horizonte for 6 months! - quero conhecer pessoas daqui e fazer amizadades!

About me: Like many on CS I'm a happy traveler that grew up overseas, and I really enjoy sharing ideas, cultures, languages, and my free time with other travelers. I love acoustic music, travel stories, hiking, scuba diving, salsa dancing. I finished university in Portland in 2012 and have kind of been travelling and working intermittently.

Advice: If you're putting in a request please include the phrase "ferret flash mob". This helps me recognize when a request is from someone that read my profile. When I can tell the person(s) is sure they would like to stay with me I'm more than happy to accommodate them into my time and schedule.

Philosophy: Do what makes you happy and know the value of moderation in your life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been hosted many times while travelling in the US and abroad, and try to help out other travellers whenever i have space while living wherever in the world. I love to meet new people and connect, learning from everyone. Sharing knowledge, ideas and good vibes. I consider myself a lucky person to have heard so many great travel stories, meet great people, share recipes, cultures, language, and general philosophy about life through CS . I also spread the word about cs when i meet people who get what cs is about and about have much more interesting it's made my travels and life in general.

if i stay with someone, i'll always leave a reference because i really believe in references and sharing your experiences with hosts, and vice versa i really appreciate if surfers leave me references so i can see where i can improve my hosting, what i'm good at, and so surfers requesting my couch know what to expect!
