Hey, my name is Leah and I am from Northern California. I love to travel, and I’m really passionate about being out in nature and living an active, positive lifestyle full of good company and yummy food. I currently live in Brazil and plan to move down to South America for good in these next coming years. If you are passionate about Latin/Brazilian cultures we will have a lot to talk about :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
