Hello! Welcome to my little digital abode within the world of CouchSurfing. My name is Daniella, but I prefer to go by Dani and frankly, it makes it easier for the both of us.

I'm a 20 something year old that originated from Havana, Cuba and grew up to become a bonafide Florida gal. Raised in South Florida, I was privileged enough to run on a diet of croquetas and pastelitos until I was shipped off to North Florida where I attended my beloved alma mater: Florida State University. #NoleLife

My interests span far and wide, but there is nothing I love more than conversation. Not the small talk, two iPhones in hand, only hearing the last two words of each sentence conversation. But the type of conversation that within the first few words you find yourself leaning in, with your ears pulsating eager for the next word... Those are the conversations I live for and what I hope to achieve by traveling the world as a conversation instigator.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because places aren't great just because they are places... they are great because of the people that together form the fabric of a city, a state, or a country. The people tell its story. The people bring its story to life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook, so I'd be open to a welcome dinner/drinks on me! Just tell me what's absolutely "off" the menu and I promise I won't try and force a plant based recipe on you. I'm a mean karaoke partner, so if you have a local bar... we're going on. I've also got two great ears ready and eager to listen to your story.
