CURRENT MISSION

"este sueño es corto pero es feliz" -travel, live, love life.

ABOUT ME

Graduated in 2009 with a degree in Latin American literature, worked for the Endocrine Society in Chevy Chase, MD and decided to go teach English in Argentina for a while. In December, I will be traveling through Latin America and returning to the US with no set plans yet. I'm interested in learning about other cultures and am excited to meet others with the same goal.

PHILOSOPHY

don't let anyone else determine your life- live it for yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I am staying with a family in Argentina, but I am willing to host when I return to the US in 2012.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just had my first experience in Villa General Belgrano for Oktoberfest and I loved it! I am excited to try more.
