I started traveling solo about 3 years ago and since then have gone on multiple trips (albeit not always solo). I enjoy the outdoors, being one with nature and photographing it!

I got into photography "seriously" about 3 years ago. I say "seriously" because it's a hobby. Fast forward to now and I've met and am connected with many people who have a like appreciation for nature or other types of photography. I am now combining my interests in traveling and hiking with this picture-taking hobby of mine, forcing me to get out of my comfort zone and explore new areas!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the experience! Yes, it's an obvious way to save money but that's not a reason for me. Meeting like-minded individuals while you are in another city or other side of the world is what fascinates me.

Interests

Hiking, photography, the outdoors in general! I am pretty lenient in activities. I can totally be that tourist who has to visit every touristy spot in the city or take pictures by a sign naming the city. I am not much of a party person but I do enjoy bars, pubs, live music, music festivals and the like.

With that said, I do consider myself quite the introvert. Sometimes a netflix and chill with some tea, wine or beer can do away for a great, cozy evening.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything from Spanish/latino music to metal. I could chill in a room while playing background piano music or slow music known as "chillstep". I can also go on an intense jog while listening to Bullet for my Valentine, A Day to Remember, System of a Down, etc.

I am guilty of not being a big reader and sometimes not being up to date with many popular movies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Attended 2 world cup games!

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH
I can teach you English and Spanish. Photography and night skies is also an area I know above average. I could show you a constellation or 2, or point out a planet in the sky (assuming we have clear dark skies to stargaze). I can bring up other random facts about how to stargaze correctly or how to photograph the stars and Milky Way.

LEARN
I'm an open journal. Write in me whatever you have to better myself and learn.

SHARE
We can share drinks and food and awesome stories and long, deep conversations!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very respectful and considerate to others. I'm mindful not to wake anyone up or disturb anyone in any way. You can also get awesome photos from me!
