Hi! I’m new on couchsurfing and I’m already wondering why I haven’t tried it before reading so many nice experiences and profiles!!! Well, I’m brazilian (born & raised in São Paulo) but I’ve been living on Long Island, NY, working as a nanny. I also lived in Charlottesville, VA, before. Two completely different places that stole my heart. I‘m graduated in Marketing and I worked with press, real estate and graphic design before I left Brazil to come here.

I love animals (I have 3 pets, dogs and cat, in Brazil that I miss their company every day) and the nature, especially the water and ocean! I’m a happy, curious, energetic, very spontaneous and talkative person. I love to connect with new people from all around the world, try and explore everything new possible — a new place, a new food, a new culture etc. I have already traveled to so many places in the US and I love it. I love this country and the beauty and characteristics of each place. New York, Virginia, Nashville, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Arizona, Georgia, New Orleans, Washington DC, New York Upstate, Orlando, Miami, Key West, South Carolina. I have also traveled to Montréal, Toronto, Cancun and Israel. Canada and Mexico were solo trip — my first and only two times and I loved this experience!

I always want and do my best to grab the opportunities that cross my way. Life is too short and the world is too big with so many different things going on!!! I’m looking forward to make new unforgettable memories doing this and new good friends!! I believe that life is made of moments and what is meant to be will always be :)

I’m sorry that I’m not verified, but here’s my Instagram if you would like to follow and know me better: rebecahochman
Feel free to make me any question!

I hope to see you soon.
Here, in Brazil or anywhere else!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really love to meet new people and learn about new cultures through my own life experience or others. Very unfortunately I‘m still not able to host anyone because I don’t have my own place but it’s one of my goals to host people in the future. Meanwhile I’d happily help you with anything I’m able to especially about New York and my local city São Paulo, in Brazil 😊

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Recently I traveled to ski for the first time. I fell 4 times and I thought I was ready to ski down the mountain. Obviously in the middle of the way I fell (badly) for the 5th time and when I looked back, my ski was out of my feet a few meters behind me. For a miracle I was fine and still wanted to finish it, but when I took the ski back I realized it was broken LMAO! Don’t ask me how it happened because I also don’t know. All I know is that I was crazy fast. Such an amazing adrenaline. Now after that I definitely can’t wait to parachute!
