Just graduated from UNR with degrees in chemistry and biology, and now traveling South America for the next year; while I enjoy studying these subjects, my real passion is languages. I love random conversations with strangers, hiking, being outside in general, running, traveling (I mean, hopefully that's the case if you're on couchsurfing) the gym, cooking, reading, biking, astrophysics videos, coffee, among others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love meeting new people and taking friends out on little adventures. You never know how many good friends and experiences you end up missing out on because you didn't put yourself out there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learned Portuguese in a year, and I can lick my elbow.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach the basics in Portuguese, French, and Spanish, and I'm pretty good with chemistry, biology, and biochemistry. I'd love to learn more languages (or practice the ones listed above), and more than language, everyone has something they can teach!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm more than happy to cook, clean up, or just help out in any way I can.
