I am a junior (third year) university student who born and raised, along with my younger sister and my dog, in Houston Texas. I am currently studying art history at the University of Texas at Austin with the goal of going to graduate school to study Middle Eastern art and then working as a museum curator. I have taken 13 years of Spanish, 2 years of Arabic, and am teaching myself French and Turkish. My life goal is to acquire enough language skills to be able to talk to and meet as many people in the world as I can!

Soy un estudiante en el tercer año de la Universidad de Texas. Yo estudio la historia de arte del mundo árabe. En el futuro, quiero trabajar en un museo. Yo he tomado español por casi trece años, árabe por dos años, y me estoy enseñando francés.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

When I travel, I like to see what life is really like in the places I visit. My favorite vacation was a week just staying with friends in an unremarkable suburb of Madrid full of normal people like me. Couchsurfing is a perfect way for me to be able to see the world on a college student budget, practice my language skills, and actually see what life in another country is like for ordinary (but fun and interesting!) people like myself.

Por supuesto, me gusta mucho viajar. Pero cuando viajo, me gusta ver la vida cotidiana de las personas normales como yo. Yo sé que Couchsurfing puede enseñarme mucho de la cultura y la vida de los países que visite.

兴趣

Being outdoors as much as possible, playing, watching, or talking about any sport under the sun. Visiting cool art museums, learning new languages,

A mi me encanta pasar tiempo al aire libre, practicar, y ver cualquier deporte, sentar en un museo de arte, comer buena comida y aprender nuevas lenguas.
