CURRENT MISSION

-To visit all 30 baseball stadiums in the U.S. and to visit as many countries as possible
-Make connections and friendships with people from all around the world...

ABOUT ME

-Still relatively new to Chicago.
-originally from Long Beach, CA.
-Bilingual: I know Spanish fairly well, and have a pretty good grasp of my own native language (English, lol). I really love learning new languages though!

I'm a down to earth person who is always interested in other people's style of living, perspectives, etc. I can talk about a variety of things and have a great perspective on life. Traveling is everything to me.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that getting out and seeing the world is much more rewarding than any form of money or materialistic item. "To travel is to live" (as cheesy as that sounds, I stand by that quote very seriously).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Really just looking for an enriching experience (hopefully with awesome people of course) where I can feel comfortable with anyone I come across. Making conversion and expression ideas with people is such an awesome experience to me and I know there are many people who feel the same. I would love to have people come and stay where I live to return the favor, but I currently live with family so it doesn't seem possible at the moment. When I have my own place in the near future I plan to keep connections and allow people to enjoy where I live and to be able to show them around.
