Hey all, I'm Ann!

I'm a nurse working in hospital administration. I'm passionate about environmental sustainability and spend my free time volunteering with a nonprofit working to reduce food waste in my city. I also love to travel, meet people, see the world and try new things. I especially love scuba diving, dancing and exploring with Couchsurfing friends.

I've Couchsurfed a lot with my brother, Joel, who stole most of our reviews. Feel free to check out his page or see below for my copy/paste versions. I'm super respectful, clean and laid back with most things.

Currently planning a trip to Puerto Rico with my sister Aubrey who is a first-time Couchsurfer. We are excited to make new friends and memories there!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people is my favorite part of travel! I've made so many great friendships, experienced new cultures and seen the world like I never would have from a fancy hotel. I also love hosting and rediscovering my own city through a visitor's eyes.

Joel and his sister Ann stayed at my place for a couple of nights. They are very respectful, fun and friendly. Always had a smile in their faces! Couldn't ask for better surfers to start hosting in my new home! They were very interested about knowing about our history, culture, nature and places yo visit. I am glad they got to visit different places, felt safe, danced merengue and bachata, had fun and got into the ocean (scuba). Highly recommend guests that can easily become good friends."

Fue todo un placer alojar a Joel y su hermana Ann; son personas muy buenas y amigables. Estuvieron poquito tiempo en la ciudad, pero supimos aprovecharlo para compartir alguna comida y actividades juntos, incluso con algunos de mis amigos. Chicos flexibles, buena onda y super geniales. Encantada de haberles tenido por aquí y cuando gusten regresar tienen donde quedarse en RD.

It was such a pleasure to hosted Joel and his sister Ann, both friendly and good people. They were in the city for a short time but we managed to share some time together and it was the most enjoyable and fun one. They are flexible, easygoing, cool and nice people.

You are very welcome anytime you'd like to come back."

Fue un gustazo tenerlos con nosotros aunque sea unos días. Fueron muy amigables y tenían el mejor español que he escuchado en un extranjero!"

La verdad Joel y Ana son personas muy espirituales, bien tranquilos y super adapatados a todo lo que los rodea, estuvimos conviviendo con amigos en una tocada musical y todo muy bien. El tiempo que pude convivir con ellos fue muy agradable. De verdad que tienen una vibra muy espiritual. !Saludos!"

Joel y Ann son calidad de personas.. Tuve la oportunidad de conocerlos y compartir un poquito de nuestras vidas, nuestros hábitos, nuestros intereses. Me gustaría volver a encontrarlos definitivamente. Si tienes oportunidad de coincidir preguntale acerca de las playas de Cancún :)"
