Overview
About Me
Before you read my profile‼️CS IS NOT A DATING PLATFORM, please respect the community and it’s members. Let’s keep cultivating a safe, fun, and wholesome space for all folks!!! ‼️ My mom has been hosting couch surfers since I was about twelve and I have a deep love and appreciation for this community, but I have noticed growing up and traveling that some individuals have different motives, that I later unpleasantly discovered. PLEASE respect this sacred space!! Couch surfing is so special, let’s keep it that way for everyone !!!
Now that that’s out the way..
🦋 Hi! I love reading, traveling, theater, dancing (everything), cooking and eating 😋 Lately, I’ve also been loving meditation practices, learning about spirituality and energetic clearing, and journaling. I've been involved with the community for a long time because of my mom- she always hosts people at home and we have loved sharing stories, food and laughter with everyone we've met. Feel free to check out her page since I haven’t surfed as much and don't have many references: Elsa Ceballos (from San Leandro). I really love this community and am happy to officially be a part of it!
I’d love to know- what you’re reading lately, music you’ve been listening to, and something that brings you joy 🤍
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to meet people while traveling and have had such great experiences with all the people that my mom has hosted at our house. We've made so many life long friends and still keep in touch with many of the folks who have couchsurfed with us. I truly feel like this is such a beautiful community and such a good way to connect with individuals all around the world.
