Hi! My name is Deena and I am originally from Southern California. I am currently trying to travel all around the world, and these next few months I am focusing on South America! I am very excited for my adventures to come and all the beautiful places there are to see. I love many activities such as hiking, surfing, swimming, animal care, and helping with local people and communities. I am an strong advocate for living a sustainable life and going green! (:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Me and a friend are backpacking around South America! We are interested in finding friends, learning more about the culture, and exploring all there is to see in this beautiful continent. We hope to also learn and practice Spanish!
