Hello! I am currently an undergraduate student at the University of California, Los Angeles. I am studying political science with a concentration in international relations and this will be my second time traveling to Europe. I really love to explore new places, meet new people, and discuss current events. I am passionate about social justice, vegetarianism, and looking after our environment. This is my first time using anything of this sort and I am joining based on a friends recommendation because she had a really wonderful experience with this website! Thanks for stopping by!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a student money is always pretty tight and I want to be able to explore the world without acquiring massive amounts of debt. I will be in France and Spain in the month of July and would like to find affordable places to crash while also seeing that side of the world through the perspective of a local. I hope to meet really great people and experience new things!

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy live music with friends and some of my favorite artists include SZA, The Front Bottoms, Post Malone, Classic 90's songs from teenage movies, Kendrick Lamar, Caloncho, anything from the top 40's, and Spanish rock. However, I'm truly open to all kinds of music!

Some of my favorite books are "Not That Kind of Girl" by Lena Dunham, "Why Not Me?" by Mindy Kailing, "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim" by David Sedaris, "Once Was Lost" by Sara Zarr, "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini, "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Alborn, and many other titles.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to speak Spanish and English! I also make really phenomenal pastries, bracelets and other arts and crafts :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with you my ability to cook amazing pastries and vegetarian meals! I'm also fairly decent at making origami cranes as well as hemp bracelets. I can teach you Spanish, or help you improve your English, and I can engage you in long in-depth conversations :-)
