I have a degree in progress: Illustration Design and Fine Art Minor at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. I am a painter and I'm obsessed with my '79 Volkswagen Rabbit (manual transmission!). I am currently taking a little break from school and living in Sao Paulo until April. Trying to enjoy my life everyday and spend my time exploring as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't need a place to stay and cannot offer a place to stay (am living with family here in Sampa).
My cousin recommended it to me as a good way to meet people.

Meu primo recomendeu porque ele conheceu muitos amigos no Couchsurfing.

Interests

Painting, Art, design, and music. I like going to museums, galleries, and hearing live music in smaller venues. Food is also very important to me. I really really really really want to learn how to surf while I am here in Brazil.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach English, drawing, adobe software (photoshop, indesign)...

I must learn how to surf!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I believe I am a good companion for museum and gallery hopping, as art and design are my focus of study and expertise.

In general I just want to have a good time - I can share my good humor, attention, and conversation. My eyes are usually quite disconnected from my cellphone! Let's go explore
