CURRENT MISSION

enjoy life, meet new people, and see as much of the world as possible!

ABOUT ME

I am from Maine in the USA but live in Brasil now in Rio De Janeiro. I have a wonderful boyfriend Bruno and a new puppy Barão. I work helping international students find long term housing in Rio and hope to open a hostel soon. Bruno and I want to travel as much of the world as possible. I would not actually call myself an expert in Portuguese but I would say something a bit more advanced then intermediate. I never tell anyone I am fluent I feel like that is giving myself too much credit. I have only had wonderful couch surfing experiences and hope soon to have my own place so I can start hosting!
