Hi! I'm trying to see as much of the world as I can. I've lived in Southern California my whole life, which is a great and fortunate place to live, but I like seeing other cultures and meeting people from different places. It's a goal of mine to become fluent in Spanish, then maybe learn some other languages, too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met some incredible people on a trip to Brazil, which made me want to help travelers out as well. I really like the philosophy of strangers helping each other and paying it forward. I'm traveling alone for the first time and it seems like a great way to make friends and save money. I want to practice speaking Spanish and try to immerse myself as much as I can while in Spain.

Interests

Guitar, surfing, soccer, exercise and nutrition (I cook a lot because I can't eat gluten), learning Spanish, travel! (obviously)
