I am spending few months in Brazil to learn more about Brazilian ecology, dance, culture, history, politics, and improve my Portuguese.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to connect with fellow travelers and locals that are open to sharing their culture with me. I am interested in learning about social movements/activism and volunteering with local projects. It would be wonderful to meet other environmentalists and social activists to co-create and exchange visions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a summer living in a tiny town on one of the islands of the Galapagos archipelago. It was amazing to be surround by marine and bird live. I saw Humboldt penguins and swam with sea turtles everyday. Also hiked active volcanos on the island and worked on an environmental program. It was an unforgettable summer.
