Hola! I laugh a lot, love to sit on a long bus ride and watch the landscape go by, and have the most fun when I am jumping into new friendships with all kinds of people. In Australia, I learn as much as I can in order to be a good paramedic, and run barefoot along the sandy path next to the creek near my house. I am on my first big solo trip, from Mexico to Argentina over 10 months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I constantly hear great things about the connectedness and generosity of the couchsurfing community. I want to be a part of it - I want to know what a country is like beyond the tourist point of view, I want to practice Spanish, I want to talk and listen to stories and jokes and learn new things!
