CURRENT MISSION

To have as many cultural experiences as possible and to make every place I go to a little better as a result of having been there.

ABOUT ME

I'm all about living and sharing new experiences, whether it be through pictures and videos, food or doing something active like a biking trip or social dancing.

I believe life is all about expanding one's horizons, learning new things and exploring!

I've done student exchanges in Brazil and Mexico. I'm currently living in Brazil, but thinking of perhaps moving to Spain someday.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is simple: Make every place you go to a little better as a result of having been there.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed in Brazil, Uruguay, Canada, the US and Thailand, and hosted a couple of times. Looking forward to more great experiences!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCES

Too many great experiences to mention, but 2 highlights are:

I got to stay in a tiny village in Thailand where I was the only tourist (my best experience in Thailand that I wouldn't have experienced if it weren't for Couch Surfing!)

I met amazing Couch Surfers while biking along the coast of Northern Brazil.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

One of the most incredible places I've been is Brazil's eco-tourism capital, which surprising enough, isn't in the Amazon or anywhere near, but rather the tiny city of Bonito (Portuguese for "Beatiful") at the bottom of a marshlands region known as the "Pantanal". You can learn more about Bonito by seeing all of the eco tours, hotels and restaurants I filmed and photographed there in this 360 virtual tour: https://tourmkr.com/F1zQcUlBDn/46910375p&0.33h&59.48t.

One of my most amazing experiences was helping out at an Orphanage in Londrina, Parana, Brazil for a couple of weeks. It's amazing how quickly the kids get attached to you and all try to get your attention at the same time.

教，学，和分享

I was an English teach in Brazil and Mexico, so I'm always glad to help others practice their English (or French/Spanish/Portuguese).

I can teach video filming and editing techniques, photography, Latin dance moves and culinary arts to make any dish look as good as it tastes!

I always want to learn about other people's experiences and cultures!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can share good laughs, insights and stories! After all, that's what CS is all about, exchanging experiences!
