ABOUT ME

I was born in California, but grew up mostly in Utah so I'm used to being surrounded by mountains! My mother is from Mexico, so I have duel citizenship and I speak Spanish. I speak French too. I love learning new things and traveling. I try almost everything because I don't want to be the person who looks back and says they wish they'd done that.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything works out as it should, but chance favors the prepared mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travel every summer, and couchsurfing is the greatest idea ever. I've couchsurfed my self in San Francisco and Paris, and I've hosted a couple of people while I lived in Nebraska.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was in Bruges, Belgium, on a road trip coming from France with some friends, and we went out to a bar to have a dance and some drinks. At the bar we met these two French guys who lived in Paris, who ended up hanging out with us the rest of the night. A few weeks later they let my sister and I stay on their couch in Paris, and even showed us around the city for two full days. It was awesome, and I can't wait to do something like it again.
