Hola! My name is Amelia. I grew up in the beautiful Sonoran desert in Tucson, Arizona. I am a kind, optiminstic and open-minded 28 year old who loves to meet new people and can get along with almost anyone. I love being active and going on a good adventure, especially if it involves hiking or anything outside. I have many passions, one of which is learning languages to open barriers of communication. I am loyal and grateful to the ones I love and care deeply about my friends and family. I am extremely respectful when I am a guest in another's home, and am always quiet during sleeping. I insist on doing the dishes, laundry, or any extra cleaning that a host may need. I will cook an incredible meal for you if you let me :) Traveling the world and meeting other souls on the road gives me life. Please tell me about your culture and your way of life, and if I can practice my French/Portuguese/Italian with you than even better. I'm a great listener as well as a great story teller. If you like to laugh for hours over

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a revolutionary way to meet other locals or fellow budget travelers. For me, the connections I make with other people across the world are my best memories and most special moments of my travels. I love meeting people from different backgrounds and cultures. I am hoping to make lifelong friendships during my next bicycle/backpacking trip through France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal!

I am an open minded person always willing to try new things and listen to new music! I am learning to play the ukulele and grew up playing the piano. I love singing and karaoke so much

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you with your Español :) I'm not a certified yoga teacher but I've been doing yoga for about 6 years so I'd love to do some yoga with you! Or just some plain old crunches and squats if you're into working out!
