CURRENT MISSION

We're two Brooklyn ladies who work too hard! Brazil has been on the top of our collective (and individual) lists for years and years. After teaching all year in the NYC public school systems, we want to go on an adventure.

ABOUT ME

Bianca likes to eat food, listen to & tell stories, go for bike rides and practice vinyasa. (Caits wants to add that she has IMPECCABLE style and is a mean cook in the kitchen.) And she also likes to dance.

Caits likes to make art with a pen or paintbrush or a video camera or a computer. She also likes to eat, A LOT. (Bianca wants to add that Caits seems to be able to do EVERYTHING beautifully and very thoughtfully.) Except for maybe math. She also like Bianca, likes to dance.

We are creative, artsy folks who like to laugh A LOT. We hope to laugh on your couch. With you. And maybe your friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life with your eyes and heart open. Be genuine, thoughtful and grateful in all you do. Embrace people warmly. Step away when needed. Stretch, dance and grow! Create everything that lives within you. Share it when you feel it's ready to walk out into the world on its own. Be kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We're new but we're couchsurfing most of our way through Rio and Salvador and hope to come back with stories about our experiences and inspiration to host some travelers ourselves.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Our favorite experiences always include warm people who give a good balance of sharing stories and experiences and letting us do our own thing.

Music, Movies, and Books

We groove to Madlib, Stevie Wonder, Alice Coltrane, João Gilberto, Sly & the Family Stone, Outkast, Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and Fela Kuti(& that's the tip of the iceburg.)

We've enjoyed the writings of Lucille Clifton, James Baldwin, Anais Nin, Miranda July, Marlon James & so many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

We've each fallen in love and had our hearts broken and fallen in love again.

Teach, Learn, Share

Caits: I can teach writing exercises, graphic design skills, basic video editing... probably other stuff, too. Just ask.
Bianca: I can teach vinyasa yoga, English phonetics, and I would be overjoyed to learn more Portuguese and Spanish!
