Born and raised in a small community in the San Juan Islands my love for traveling began with a foreign exchange in high school in Brasil. Ever since I have had an itch for exploring new places, meeting new people, experiencing new cultures (especially through food, music, and art) and having my perspective of the world expanded and challenged in new ways. Although I hope to visit other countries around the world in the future, right now I'm excited to see new parts of the United States and to hopefully connect with some locals along the way.

Right now I'm road tripping down to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I'll be for the next few months. When I get back to Washington I hope to be in a place where I can host others and share some of what I know about the area I call home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to Couchsurfing, but thought it would be a great way to meet people and have some good conversations while I'm on the road.
