I will be traveling to Portugal, Spain, and London this August!

My most recent travel experiences were in Cuba this spring and in Buenos Aires last summer for a 2-month International Law and Human Rights Fellowship. I am so grateful and for the experience. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories - I have studied abroad in New Zealand and Peru, and traveled extensively throughout South America and parts of Europe!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and share in the experience! The best way to get to know a new place is through the eyes of a local. Me encanta la idea compartir nuestros espacios y experiencias :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I work in immigration and human rights non-profit legal services in the US, and this summer I helped a young man get asylum. That's probably one of the most incredible experiences I've been lucky enough to have.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've always worked for non-profits and human rights NGOs. I love hearing about other people's experiences with social justice, progress, identity, and culture!
