About Me

CURRENT MISSION

staying in brazil.

ABOUT ME

Fun.
Introspective.
Observant.
Curious.
Currently attempting to perfect my spanish and portuguese because I'm researching the histories of the "Americas" and how similar or different the experience of the descendants of africans are here.
If I were an animal I'd be a stray cat who was domesticated, which means that while I love being outside for long periods of time, I always find my way home.

PHILOSOPHY

Taking it one day at a time, every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Looking for couches as I still live with my mom. However I am looking forward to the day when I can open my home to others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in philly with a brazilian girl. so much fun!

Interests

I like to read books about dystopian paradises or watch foreign films or zombie movies. I like food ALL food. I may like cooking more than eating. And I love cooking on making crafts for my hosts and friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Was apart of an amazing art show where I created an installation which was virtually a time machine, and showed the transformation of a neighborhood in Baltimore from the 60's until the present in a matter of minutes.
Slept in the amazon, and floated down the Napo River.
Organized a trip to visit my university for a group of high school students who weren't sure if college was attainable because of where they came from.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really good at speaking English! Es mi primero idoma. I can cook, I make an awesome hearty vegan breakfast. I'm also pretty crafty and thoughtful so handmade cards are always an option. I give good hugs as well.
