Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am in the last year of my Master's program, set to finish in December 2013. I have had some complicated living arrangements lately, so I can only hang out or perhaps surf when I travel outside of Rio.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been a surfer, but I haven't yet had a couch to offer.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Movie of all Time: Singing in the Rain
Current Artist who dominates my iPod: Goldfish

I'm a Trekkie, and I'm a sci fi/fantasy/action girl in general when it comes to movies and books. My music tastes are varied, but most of my iPod is filled with dance-pop. I love club music, dancing, and the upbeat celebration that comes with a good vibe and good dance beat.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

•Seeing the UN Palais in Geneva for the first time.
•Falling in love on a first date.
•Seeing the Eiffel Tower for the first time and then seeing it light up and sparkle on the hour.
•Experiencing the beautiful beaches in Rio de Janeiro.
