My name is Larissa and i am 26 years old.
I am originally from Brazil and I came to the US in 2015 as an Au Pair. I lived in Raleigh for 2 years, where i met my Boyfriend Eric.
In the beginning of 2017 my contract with my host family was done, and i decided that I wanted to keep traveling. Eric and I share a passion for traveling, so we decided we'd go visit my family in Brazil and also take a year to explore South America. And so we did! We just came back from a year around South America and now we're kinda getting back to "real life". But we still love to explore whenever we can!

I am very interested in nature and wildlife in general. Everybody jokes about the fact that i get so excited and how I'm easily impressed when i see different kinds of animals (specially if I'm seeing it for the first time).
I'm very laid back and I love to laugh!
I enjoy good company and good conversations, as well as going for hikes and having a beer.

Needless to say I love traveling and seeing new places, but also meeting new people and different cultures. That's one of the reasons i joined Couchsurfing. This is the best way to get all that!
