CURRENT MISSION

To finish writing/drawing a picture book

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a hippie household with my dad and my twin brother in NYC. We were born vegetarian but I am open to trying different things. A big part of traveling is experiencing culture and cuisine that is different from your own so I think it is important to adapt when you are able. You'll gain more from the experience :)

I love traveling, reading, drawing, watching movies, listening to new music, cooking and having a good time!

PHILOSOPHY

I love trying new things and working hard to make the most of life (as long as its not negatively consequential!)

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently traveling but would love to host people when I get settled back in NYC

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been lucky to have two great couch surfing experiences so far. Both hosts were very nice and it was great to get to know them while we were traveling :) I also had a great host family in high school when I lived in Okinawa.

Ensine, Aprenda, Compartilhe

Most of my friends are from different cultures and I myself am a melting pot of ethnicities. I love the mixture of cultures, I think everyone can gain from opening their life to different types of people. In such a globally-focused world it is very possible and beneficial to do so.
