On a mission to see the whole world...slowly but surely. Currently at 35 countries! I love learning languages, sampling cuisines from around the world, but most importantly, making lasting and genuine connections with interesting people from all walks of life.

Unfortunately I can't host right now since I'm between places and doing lots of traveling but would love to meet up if I'm around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get a deeper and more meaningful experience out of my travels, and hopefully return the favor one day! Also interested in meeting some new, fascinating people from around the world.

Interests

I love to swim, kayak, bake, discover new music from around the world, watch foreign films, take walks, travel, learn languages, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

I adore Brazilian music, and have generally a very eclectic music taste. Some of my favorite songs are in Arabic, Italian, Spanish, French, Swahili, Russian...might not necessarily understand what they're saying but when it's a good song, it's a good song :)

Some of my favorite authors: Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Isabel Allende, Milan Kundera, Jhumpa Lahiri, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Junot Diaz, Elif Shafak, JK Rowling, Orhan Pamuk... just to name a few.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, and climbed to the very top of Mount Sinai.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you French!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good sense of humor, warm personality, the beautiful French language, and a deep appreciation of the world around us.
