American living in Brazil.

I love long distance running and am hoping to race the Rio marathon next year.

Also, am just as passionate about health and wellness as I am about desserts and cheese :)

I started a meditation practice during the pandemic and it really changed my life.

My family is originally from Italy, and the little town where some of my relatives still live is my favorite place to visit. No one speaks English and there are no tourists, but an incredible church from the Middle Ages that’s a fading beauty. It’s magical.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love Brazil and feel so fortunate to call this place home. It's a vibrant, diverse country that's impossible to describe--you just have to experience it

Interests

Running, hiking, kayaking, reading, trying new recipes, rooftop bars, yoga, aimless wandering and last minute adventures

Music, Movies, and Books

live music, any kind

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I love trying new things, and I think the most genuine kind of happiness comes from the unexpected.

A few memories that stand out:
Working on an organic, biodynamic farm in Costa Rica
Catching an island sunset in Croatia by motorbike
Midnight beach parties in Jericoacoara
Volunteering at a medical clinic in Peru
Impromptu music festival in Rio
Foraging for wild mushrooms in the forest
My first couchsurfing experience-Stumbling upon a international couchsurfer picnic in Amsterdam, how I discovered this welcoming community
