Mexican American 🇲🇽 🇺🇸 Soy Chicano y por eso, hablo Spanglish 😂 I love to travel and want to take more and more opportunities to explore the world. Hikes are a lot of fun for me, I also enjoy coffee, talking politics, rock climbing, music, getting to know people, and adventures (no matter how big or small!) Graduated from my university with a BA, which has been an exciting experience 🎓 now I am writing my thesis for a Masters degree. Those studies have took me to some really interesting places meeting and helping refugees in Turkey, to learning new languages , to studying a whole bunch of other things.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing basically changed the way I travel in many positive ways. I’ve been able to meet so many amazing people along my travels. Some adventures with CS have been climbing a mountain in Tbilisi, exploring the streets of Istanbul, having endless talks over coffee, exploring culture from the eyes of locals, and showing people my beloved home city in Los Angeles. I want to continue to have new experiences with people . Being able to stay or hangout with locals of a foreign place is amazing. I think it is a true way to travel.
Music, Movies, and Books
