I grew up in Seattle, WA, USA. I have always had a passion for travel. I have been all over my country, lived in Alicante, Spain for one year and studied in Honolulu at the University of Hawaii for four years. I started studying Spanish when I was 5 years old, but still feel like there is so much to learn. I love to try new things and see new places, and to share those experiences with new people. I like music festivals and culture festivals, going out to dance and drink with friends, and anything where I can have a good time. I am currently spending 5 months traveling in South America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and share my travel experiences with new friends! I can be shy sometimes but I really enjoy meeting people and learning about other places and cultures. I love hearing stories about people's experiences and love when people show me their favorite things in their day to day life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Recently finished 100 years of Solitude. I love books by Isabel Allende and Amy Tan, also like Spanish And Latin American Literature. My favorite movie is Almost Famous. I like deep house, house, bossa nova, jazz, and alternative music, but I can honestly listen to and enjoy anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a summer in Israel and got to watch the sunrise over the Dead Sea from Mt. Masada.

Teach, Learn, Share

My goal is to meet with people and share stories about places we've been and thing we have seen. I love to learn about anything I can and I feel the best way to do that is to share people's experiences with them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to talk about the places I have been and things I have seen. I am open minded, respectful, and excited to learn. I can be a bit shy at first but when I warm up to people I am kind and helpful. I am also a good cook and helpful around the home.
