I am usually very clean, tidy, shy, easygoing, and great listener. I am always willing to go meet new friends, eat yummy things, and have fun!

Professionally, I am User Interface & User Experience Designer that sometimes dabbles in front-end development. Graphic Design was my major when I attended the Maryland Institute College of Art ('12).

On the side, I really love photography and capturing anything beautiful that catches my eye.

In the past, I've backpacked through Europe and visited Reykjavik Iceland, Venice Italy, Rome Italy, London United Kingdom, and Barcelona Spain.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to be more adventurous and visit places with the intention of getting to know a new culture, discovering its history, appreciating it's food, admiring architecture, and understanding people. (Or to just visit/make new friends!)

Overall, I'm eager and open to anything new, and would appreciate recommendations when visiting.

Interests

On occasion I enjoy salsa/bachata dancing.
