Hi there! I'm a recent college graduate aspiring to get some traveling done before becoming an official grown up. I believe there's a lot to see in this world, and there's always going to be some excuse to stop you from traveling. Whether it be time, money, or just plain fear of planning a trip, I think these excuses are only going to be more prevalent as I get older. I have dreams of converting a van to live in for a few months, but until the right van comes along, and more money saved, I want to get that taste of traveling started.

My Myers-Briggs MBTI Personality type is ENFP, if that gives you a quick idea of my vibe. I've been described as energetic, light hearted, and adventurous. I like skipping small talk, and going straight to deep conversation, but I can just as easily joke around all day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people! Delaware is a really small state, and it's starting to make me claustrophobic. I want a taste of what the west coast is like specifically, and just get to know the vibe of that crowd. Life's too short, might as well get to know some rad people. I'm really new to this, and am unable to host to host anyone because I'm living back at home with my sister and mom, but I'm hoping to pay it forward one day and open my home/apartment in the future to other couchsurfers! I'm really eager to meet people who live life in a more exploratory way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've led two service trips to Orland, Maine and Detroit,Michigan!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to make a mean Ecuadorian fish soup and plantains :) My mom is from Ecuador, and I'd love to share what cultural aspects I've picked up from her. I want to learn more about the experiences others have had exploring the world, and advice for anyone in their early twenties. I'm looking to find myself but also be responsible for my future self, and would love to talk to anyone who has insight on how to strike that balance.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some good tunes, vibes, and conversation. But obviously besides that I want to truly get to know my hosts & show them my appreciation by helping out in any way possible. I like to cook and would love to make a meal with my host one night. I'm a pescaterian but often make a lot of vegan meals, if that's something of interest to learn more about! I bring my tarot cards everywhere I go, so some wanted (or maybe unwanted) forseeings into the future and advice haha.
