Fútbol loving - cheesecake baking- energetic latina with a passion for traveling and turning strangers into friends. (:

Senior class president, rally commissioner, homecoming queen, and an over worked A.P. student ready to travel the world, discover new cultures, and meet new people in a safe manner and low cost.

I decided in February to create my own cheesecake business to help me pay my way through college. My cheesecakes are homemade, using all local ingredients, and farm fresh eggs. Currently I am selling to friends, family, the public, restaurants and yogurt shops.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Rather then head into a four year university straight out of high school, ... I decided to take a different path. I am taking two years to complete my general education online while growing my business and traveling the world!

Being the broke and thrifty 19- year- old spender that I am, I'm looking for the cheapest (and safest) way to travel around mother earth and meet new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked two jobs everyday after school, saved up $3,000, bought a ticket to Costa Rica, took Spanish classes, and built houses for the homeless.
