About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to learn about other cultures, make new friends, and live life to the fullest!

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in New York City and recently returned after 4 years of school out in California. I am very interested in Latin America and speak both Spanish and Portuguese. I hope to travel even more in the near future and love meeting new people!

PHILOSOPHY

"It's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." - Marilyn Monroe

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I cannot host anyone at my home at present, I am happy to meet for coffee, a drink, sightseeing, partying, museum visits, whatever...just run any idea by me! I'm also happy to provide advice via e-mail on places to visit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CouchSurfing experience was excellent. I met a visitor from Brazil for coffee and I was very excited to practice my Portuguese with him. I'm excited that my first experience ended in a friendship.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My life has been pretty amazing and interning in Argentina was certainly a life-changing experience; however, I hope I can fill this box with something truly great in the near future! The best is yet to come!

Teach, Learn, Share

I think the best way to get to know a new city is to glance at a map, pick a neighborhood, and then put your guide away and just walk the streets - see everything for yourself!

Countries I’ve Visited
