Born outside Los Angeles
Raised in Colombia/Republica Dominicana/USA
Currently in San Francisco/Oakland California

Studying Public Health and Cellular Biology, doing research currently on Health care disparities of marginalized communities of color in the bay area!

I travel as much as I can during my breaks and am pretty damn good at Latin America. I'm a damn good cook and aspiring master conversationalist.
Realizing this year I am more California than I'd like to admit and it's only getting more severe as I explore much of the west coast (and fall in love with it) I try but am by no means good at surfing, I love backpacking often mostly because I love eating sandwiches and feeling cold and small in the eastern sierra mountains, I rock-climb and bike around the bay area, and road tripping in my life happens often (and am always looking for people to join)!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I am well versed in traveling throughout south america and california, usually staying with family and friends, and am looking to expand to other parts of the world as well as expanding the ways in which I meet new people! I am new to couchsurfing so I know I don't have references but lets connect on FB and Instagram too or just message me! Even if I cannot host you, I am always down to meet up or give advice on where to go! I often travel between SF->LA so hit me up and we can dance in the car on our way down the 5 freeway together!

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I can cook some bomb-ass colombian/dominican food!
I can show you funny texts my mom sends me
I'll clean your kitchen and I'll mail you cute letters when I leave
I make playlists that will be sure to get you to dance.
I am producing my first podcast and know you'd love to be involved or at least watch me struggle!
Lets be pen pals! Everyone loves sending and receiving letters!
I keep in touch, I'm often in different countries and I tend to make friends with people on a large spectrum of age range, gender, interests, culture, and the second greatest part of making friends is making your friends friends with each other!
