CURRENT MISSION
I love to travel. I think understanding a new place requires meeting locals and exchanging stories and experiences. I believe that this world is interconnected and we should all try to understand, enjoy, and learn from our travels. English is my native language and I am advanced in Spanish. I hope to learn as many languages as I can!

But in summary, the most important thing of being a traveler and a human is to be kind, compassionate, and open-minded. I get high off of meeting new people

PHILOSOPHY

Everyday I try to learn something new. I try to live simply, be kind, and laugh everyday

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For me, couchsurfing is the best way to travel. Being a tourist can be fun, but being a local is so much more rewarding. I believe that we exist to interact with each other. The world needs to connect more because we aren't that different from each other. With that being said, CS is also about mutual respect. The guest needs to respectful, polite, clean etc., but the host is offering something that is incredibly valuable too-their time and home. That's the ultimate beauty about this.
