Arlingtonian native, 24, done a wide variety of jobs because I'm a gypsy and want to gain the most out of life that I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to experience different parts of the world and their cultures and sights.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Most country music, especially Brett Eldridge, Thomas Rhett, Billy Currington, Luke Bryan, and Jason Aldean. County concerts are the best.
I also like pop (I've got the bieber fever), some salsa music (mainly because I love salsa dancing) and rock/mainstream music. I love Hozier, Ed Sheeran, and Micheal Buble when I'm feeling more classical.
Movies: I don't watch a lot of movies anymore, but I'll always love Disney.
Books: I used to love Harry Potter (my childhood!), and Wuthering Hieghts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being certified in HazMat (Hazardous Materials identification) through the fire department.

Teach, Learn, Share

I once was a park naturalist teaching geography to 5th graders. I was also a substitute teacher for a time across a wide variety of subjects.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know all the good spots in DC and the types of personalities that go there. Tell me what you want and I can take you there. I also know Virginia - Fairfax, Arlington, Clifton, etc.

Countries I’ve Visited

Dominican Republic, England, Morocco, Peru, Spain
