Hola! My name's Carina, and I'm from New York. I left my job in March, and now I am traveling, slowly.

I love connecting with people, sharing stories and secrets, hopes and passions, laughing until our stomach hurts, smiling for no reason, feeding my mind and soul, feeling sand between my toes, getting caught in the rain, the smell of mountain air, the colors of a sunset.

My "about me" is always a work in progress :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I always have a book on me when I travel! We could trade if you desire

Music that makes me feel alive and creative and maybe crazy. I love dancing like no ones watching even though I’m terrible

Movies that make me feel something. The best film I watched this year was Her. I confess that I bawled my eyes out

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn about one another and share stories. I was taught the world is a big and scary place, full of people that will hurt you. But traveling alone, especially on CS, has taught me the exact opposite. I love meeting new people, learning about them, their homes, their philosophy, their mentality.

We could have a language exchange - I can help with English and Chinese. Yo puedo hablar un poco español

Also the secret to making fried rice is...

What I Can Share with Hosts

The best hot sauce - Chinese hot chili oil
