CURRENT MISSION

Just to be happy...

ABOUT ME

I graduated from University of Kansas, rock chalk jayhawk! Moved to the big city right after graduation to work for a firm in Manhattan. I love to be involved as much as I can and meeting new people..hanging out with friends and spending time enjoying myself with fun activities like skydiving, besides that I'm fairly down to earth and a laid back latina despite my problems retaining this so called sexy brown skin, I am latin I swear lol. Care to know anything else just ask.

** Katie said I should put down my supposably cool info about me so I guess I will lol... Well I was born in Peru (country in South America for those of you geographically challenged) which yes means I'm fluent in Spanish which is really useful at times and I lived in Canada for 9 years. Something random about me is that I'm afraid of turtles, yes I know turtles but hey, I had a bad experience with them when I was a kid so now I'm scarred for life lol.**

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined because of a friend whom I met while down in Guatemala over spring break and she's like an expert Couch Surfer and suggested me to check out the site. I can no longer host due to space but I am happy to meet people for drinks/food any time!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hosted back in Kansas during my undergrad, helped folks get familiar with the campus too. Hosted in New Jersey too but unfortunately can't anymore because of new apt. I've met folks around the city and if it works out with our schedules, I'm happy to get you free passes to museums.
