CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am a half Portuguese, half Peruvian, American. I was born in California but grew up in Ohio for most of my life. I love traveling and meeting new people. I am a very laid back person. I love hanging out with friends, going to the beach (when I am near one), reading, and playing soccer. Along with hanging out with friends, I love going out and dancing.

I love learning about other cultures and languages while meeting new people. I have arrived recently back to the States but I am looking to travel again in the near future.

PHILOSOPHY

All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have only used couchsurfing for meeting people and finding out about events while living in Lima, Peru. I also plan on hosting in the near future.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has been great! My friends never seem to understand it when I try to explain it to them but I recommend it to everyone. It is a great way to connect people and share experiences.

I have met some of the most interesting people through couchsurfing.

Interests

I have many interests that I could elaborate on. I am really open to anything.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love going to movies, listening to music, and reading books.

The type of movies I enjoy are: drama, foreign language films, comedy, documentaries and adventure.

The type of books I enjoy are books that promote thinking and curiosity.

As for music I enjoy many different genres. Right now I am on a Spanish music binge that I can't seem to break. A few of my favorite Spanish singers include Mark Anthony, Jencarlos Canela, Enrique Iglesias (his Spanish music), J Alvarez and a few others. The typical genre I listen to in English is alternative. It really depends on my mood. I love dance music also. Sometimes there can be nothing more motivating than a good beat haha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting Machu Picchu was pretty amazing! It was so incredible!

I don't like the idea of choosing just one though. If we get a chance to talk we can share more experiences!

Teach, Learn, Share

Some skills I could share... I played college soccer and tennis so if for whatever reason you have a strong desire to learn, talk, or play I would love that.

I also lived in South America for an extended period of time and could help with speaking a bit of Spanish. Although I am not an expert, I can definitely help with what I know. I could also help with English if you are trying to learn.
