Hello! I'm a friendly, funny, straightforward kind of girl. I love learning about languages, cultures, and food. I'm opened to city life, hiking, walking, talking, or just hanging out. Ask me anything, I'll be more than delighted to answer.

CURRENT MISSION:
Back in my hometown of Altadena (suburb in Los Angeles) for just a few weeks before leaving again on my next adventure! Would be happy to hang out, but unfortunately I can’t host. I’m staying at my parents place since I’m visiting, and there’s no extra room. 😕

Follow along as I travel :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel more and learn the in's and out's of the city I'm staying in. I like doing things off the beaten track, and hate being stuck in large crowds to do the touristic thing. Show me your city and tell me what YOU love about it :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

As a non-swimmer, I think it's pretty amazing that I swam in the Great Barrier Reef... twice :)
I’ve also gone snorkeling in Thailand and Bali, but my friend had to drag me through the water (I don’t know how to physically move my body in the water)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook, and show you some basic (but delicious) recipes! I can also help teach English, or attempt to converse in Spanish. Last but not least, I can help teach you photography (yes, I shoot my dslr in manual ;D ).
I'd love to learn more recipes, foreign ones preferably. I'd also really love to learn more phrases in more languages.
Anything thats mine is yours, I'm happy to share!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Can help cook, clean, share travel stories, and teach you how to shoot a camera in manual!! :)
