About Me

I am currently a student attending UCI but was studying abroad in Spain last year , I went to the University of Barcelona. I am studying education and Psychology. I want to travel the world it has always been my dream and everyone has always told me that anything is possible so thats why I went abroad. I am very outgoing and friendly and I can talk for days. I love hearing peoples stories and their adventures. I'm really down to earth I see my self as a simple person, I don't need much too be happy just some great people and a good adventure. Oh and food you can't forget about the food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couchsurfing because I find it amazing that people are willing to share their home. It makes me want to learn about them and everything they have to offer to this world. I want to follow my dream of traveling and learning and I feel that couchsurfing is one way I can do that. I feel like it is a better way of learning you get to experience a new culture in a different way than if you just go and do the automatic of just tourist things and then leaving . It's raw, you meet new people and make new friendships. Another reason why I am couchsurfing is because I love learning about people, as much as I love talking I also love to listen and I love listening to peoples stories about their adventures, their daily life, anything and everything. People are just really fascinating.

Interests

I love food. I can cook very basic Mexican food and some Italian food really just pasta but that counts right? I also love to bake making cookies and cake is always fun. I love photography, music- i play the flute and the glockenspiel. I like to listen to every type of music and when I say every I mean it my playlist goes through many very different genres. I love going to concerts or really hearing any live music, even if it's just the neighborhood band or the talented metro musicians. I also like to sing and dance even though I can't do any of them. I have two left feet and I sound like a dying cat but it's still fun to do. I love going to the beach any beach really is my favorite place to be. I like corny/lame/dad jokes they are the best I like hearing them but not telling them because I can never remember any of them. I like learning new languages even though I butcher most of them ( I'm so sorry, I try my best!) I also like going/exploring secret places I like feeling like I'm special or that the people I'm with have this cool secret. I like the feeling of knowing that you are doing something beautiful and special that no one else or that not a lot of people have been able to do .

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all types of music right now I'm really into indie music. But I like to know what other people are into or who their favorite musician/band is because I almost always end up liking them too! I like to add on to my playlist. For movies i like movies set in the victorian era but other then that I like all types as long as its interesting to me but i'll still sit through a boring film I will tell you what I thought about it once it's over though . Oh and I still have not seen the Titanic well I saw maybe 10 minutes of it but that's it. One day it will happen. I used to work at a movie theater so I don't think I can smell popcorn anymore or really like it either. I had to clean to much of it of the ground. Working at the movies did make me get addicted to sweets though. My favorite books I don't think I have a favorite but I like romantic books and mysteries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think so far one of the most amazing things i've done is moved to a new country.
Also was watching a sunrise happen in the sky while I was on the plane taking me to the new country I was moving too. It's all connected it counts as one .
