I'm a chef in New York & solo traveler on my free time.
My goal is to get to travel as much as I can to connect with people that hosts me and with my guests through their food, music, all branches of art , film, painting , grafite, live performances, etc
I WONT RESPOND to any kind of requests from guys.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live in New York + Rio de Janeiro and travel 3 /4 times per year betwen these two cities, Have a spare room in Rio .
In NY it's a shared room.
I'm opening the doors to a solo female traveler to make easier for every woman to get out there and go. Hosting and being hosted it's an awesome way to get to know what I didn't learn in school.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteered many times with vulnerable children in India & Brazil.

Teach, Learn, Share

Listening to everyone's stories, getting to know people of all backgrounds is an incredible opportunity and learning experience.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A single mattress "on the floor with a room divider for some privacy, breakfast daily, maybe one evening dinner, basically a safe clean location to shower and sleep during your stay.
Will only host surfers with a clear face profile pic. Someone who displays a description of what they are about and what's it's offered to their guests.

Will host ONLY 1 female traveler in NY at time on the weekends for 2 nights( 3 maybe , just ask me) .
It's a studio and it's a shared space.
In Rio it's a private room and can host more days even 2 peopke who can sleep on the same bed.
Will not answer any requests if you are a smoker even if you smoke miles away...
if u r guy, 2 girls traveling together or a surfer with a blank profile description.
It's your job to at least provide some info if you want to get free housing.
I work everyday, can only hang out some evenings.
