I'm a graduate student researching coral reef ecology. I currently live in California, but my research is based in Hawaii. I am a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer from Nicaragua and love traveling (especially to Hispanic countries)! My hobbies include swimming, scuba diving, reading, hiking, biking, and eating ice cream in every new place I visit :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people! My favorite way to travel is by staying with locals/friends that live in the area so I can get the insider scoop!
