Hello!

My name is Carolina. I am currently a student at Olivet Nazarene University. I have always had a major heart for traveling! Ever since entering college, I have been able to begin to live my wildest adventures.

I have been to Thailand, studied abroad in Japan, and am of Mexican heritage! I am proud of where I come from and who I am learning to be through the world of traveling.

I grew up in Chicago and reside near there for school. But when I am not at school, I am in Indianapolis or generally driving to a friend's house for a visit.

Some of my favorite hobbies include long drives, roadtripping, reading, and journaling. You can generally find a journal in my bag when I am out hiking and enjoying nature!

I hate waking up early but sunrises are my favorite.
Nature is something I consider to be sacred. I love the smell of the earth and absorbing the creation that has been laid out before us.

Don't be afraid to message me! I will try and reply as soon as I can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and have conversations with them! I enjoy building relationships with others. Learning about people, their stories, and their cultures has become of great importance to me over the last few years. I yearn to listen, to laugh, to cry with, and take delight in the life of another person.
