I am recently graduated student who is interested in exploring and understanding the world around me. I am interested in most topics, but have a heart for art and culture. I would be so up for talking about cultural aspects of society as it plays a role in modern developments. I think in such a rapidly changing world, it is important to reflect how culture sets us apart, and gives a uniqueness to our lives, in such a way that we see things from a different perspective, but I find it equally as important to reflect upon the sharing of our own culture as a medium for mutual understanding.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If I am going somewhere, I don't want to stay in some hotel where I am not going to find myself on a personal level with people. I want to meet people, explore topics, and talk about the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have worked a lot in photography (especially portrait) , and I feel comfortable talking about theory, technique, and what not. (Disclaimer: My self portraits aren't amazing representations of my photography. Its hard getting the picture when you can't sit behind the camera.) I also grew up in a half Hispanic family in Southern California, so Mexican style cooking is something I'm capable of "dishing out".
