About Me

I've been traveling in Latin America since October 2018, and arrived in Brazil in March 2020.

I love Couchsurfing for meeting local people, learning from them, and exchanging ideas, experiences, etc. In Brazil, I'm also hoping to meet people who will help with my Portuguese and I'm very happy to help with English as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet local people where I'm traveling.

Interests

I love exploring and spending time in nature.

  • cooking
  • farmers' market
  • backpacking
  • camping
  • rock climbing
  • biking
  • organic gardening
  • organic farming
  • nature conservation

Music, Movies, and Books

I read a lot of books (mostly non-fiction) and love to discuss ideas from my favorite books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having a puma jump across my trail in the Amazon. Swimming with dolphins in Honduras. I think the Amazon region (jungle and river) is the most impressive place I've ever been.

Teach, Learn, Share

My favorite thing about CS is sharing with others about our different cultures, experiences, etc.

And I love to learn from local people about the places where I'm traveling. Also, learn some of the language where I'm traveling, and help others learn English.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food and cooking, maybe a bottle of wine. Help with house cleaning and chores.
