Born in the US and recently moved to Rio. I love it here! I consider myself a pretty laid back chick with lots of vision and energy (specially when I'm travelling on a budget and time constraints :) Having said that, when I do travel, I look for local adventures and if my host wants to join me, they are more than welcome... It's all about blending in :). I am a foodie and a whiskey/beer enthusiast, so any advise in those departments is strongly appreciated!!! By the same token, I would like to host wonderful people from all over the world. I own a small space, but it's everything i need, my own piece of rest and tranquility. If I am not working or studying while you're staying with me, I'd be more than happy to show/drive you around my favorites spots in Rio, but if not I can point you in the right direction. All I want is for you to experience Rio and all the best it has to offer.
