I haven't lived in any one place for more than 4 months since 2017... hoping to find roots in 2020.

I love to ride bikes in large groups, especially if everyone's got a bike bell.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined CS years ago when I lived in Colorado, only to find that the communities I ended up in always had a couch for me via word of mouth. I've also hosted quite a lot of people, unofficially.
I've used CS as a resource to find the meetups in cities like Denver, CO and Sao Paulo, Brasil. I met great people at both and even met people who I let crash on my couch the night I met them.

Interests

I love learning from people, riding bikes with them, cooking and sharing meals, and being resourceful.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy learning and dancing to the local music in whatever region I'm in. I'm a fan of samba, reggae, blues, ska, folk, hip hop.... play a bit of guitar but could always use a lesson.

When I'm traveling I like to read about the local area: field guides, culture, hobbies. I'll probably spend a few minutes looking at your bookshelf. I most recently read Parables of the Sower by Octavia Butler and it resonates pretty deeply with what direction I think we need to go in as people on this planet..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was 18 and leaving Connecticut to move to Colorado for college, I made a video with my friends where we tried to see how many swim spots we could go to in one day... I'll share the link if you ask :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to practice Portuguese and Spanish, and discuss different strategies of maintaining happiness in the work/life conundrum...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will cook for you and keep my space tidy and packed away like I'm not even there. I don't even snore!!!
