I’m a lover of traveling and live currently in Mexico. I’ve lived in Massachusetts, North Carolina, Salvador da Bahia and Mexico and love meeting new people. The only constant in my life is change, I think that is why I love traveling. I am really drawn to people with stories to tell about their perception of the world and I love listening to that. I also love talking about my experiences in my short 21 years of life. I took a gap year off of college this year to travel and find myself a bit outside of school. I’ll be in France for a few months woofing for the most part and I really want to explore France and Europe the most I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I want to travel and meet people in the places I travel to. Because this offers you a chance to know someone that lives there instead of just getting a hotel or hostel where everyone is a traveler. Being with a local is the best way to see the place your staying in a closer light not only the touristic way but also the rest of the social context which is always interesting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped make a garden for the NGO that I worked in for a month and a half. It was beautiful seeing the little ones plant seeds and watch them grow.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well I’m really well read in the Enneagram, I love to talk and learn about psychology. Also I love to learn how to cook different meals. And I adore photography so whenever someone teaches me something I highly appreciate it, and also love sharing my bit of knowledge. I’m always open to learn about people’s personal beliefs and their experiences in life that made them think that way even if I don’t agree or share that belief. I’m an open person with my own way of thinking.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my personal experience of life, a small but deep experience. I can also share laughter and hopefully share a meal, eating is a beautiful ritual that I do love doing with other people.
