Hola Hola Couchsurfers!
I'm Alyssa from New Jersey! I am very open minded,, well spoken and very respectful towards people and their uniqueness and individuality. I actually love that! Meeting new people that are one of a kind and somehow leave their individual mark on my life is something I am looking to get out of this experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My experience traveling through South America (Peru, Ecuador, and Chile) really changed my perspective on life. Therefore, I am looking to see as much of the world as I can while I still can! Living in South America for 3 years really taught me that there are two ways to experience new cities and countries: one way is the touristy approach and the other is the local approach, and I hope couch surfing will provide me with the opportunity to experience the perfect mix of the two!

Interests

I am interested in languages and local vernaculars as a Linguistics graduate, sociolinguistics and factors that influence different aspects of language, language acquisition and cognitive development

Also, as you can see from being on couch surfing, I am interested in traveling, experiencing new cultures, local cuisines, and seeing what each city has to offer all while making new friends along the way!
