I love painting, studying, photography, and cartoons. I love riding my bicycle, hiking, and eating really good food. I am currently at Pomona College for undergrad. I want to become an architect and am saving up for grad school.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet people and share experiences. I don't really have the budget for staying in motels, but I love to travel.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share some Portuguese, as well as how to develop black and white film. Am willing to debate anything from any position, and learn anything from that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories about myself and my family, histories of immigration in Brazil and the United States, knowledge on film photography and decent vegetarian cooking.
