I am an actress and teacher and love adventures of any kid. I want to see everything, and can take part in almost anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Quero ser uma participante, não só uma visitante. Quero mesclar com todo mundo, aprender e falar outras línguas, fazer os hábitos., comer as comidas diferentes que são feito em casa, e ser uma cidadão verdadeira!

I want to be a participant, not just a visitor. I want to mix with the people, learn and speak other languages, take part in the customs, eat home made food, and be a true citizen.

Interests

Things that are adventurous, out of the ordinary. I would love to hike, snorkel, skydive, white water raft, sleep on the beach, ride bikes, go to the gym (sometimes) see theatre ... I like theatre and would love to see a play whereever I go.
I like puzzles and trying to fix things.
I would love to travel more.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite TV shows are The Amazing Race and Modern Family. I also like MMA/UFC.

I like blues, mostly, but almost any kind of music is cool with me.

My favorite book is Illusions by Richard Bach. And my favorite movie is - a kid's movie - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! I've seen The Wizard of Oz about a hundred times (I grew up in Kansas where the movie is set).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made my way from the airport in Paris (Charles de Gualle) to my hotel, then to the Louvre and then back to the hotel, on the metro, by myself, speaking the limited French I learned in High School. That was pretty awesome!
