I'm 25, from the United States, I grew up in Texas but for the last 4 years I've lived in Vermont. I'm a Performance Artist, mostly Dance & Theatre, so I'm often dancing around the kitchen or the park or the stage. I speak basic Brazilian Portuguese, and I've studied Japanese Language for 3 years now so I can understand a little bit. I'm vegan (meaning that I don't eat animal products) but it doest bother me if you do, just know that if I turn down an offer of food I don't mean it to be disrespectful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking to meet new people, people who are local to where I'm traveling to, I think that the way travel has been packaged can make it a lonesome endeavor when truly it's such a beautiful way to connect with people, to make new friends.
