Hi, I'm Diamond. I've been out of school for a little over a near now and I'm ready to start traveling (since I have a full time job and not a broke college kid anymore). I grew up in the Adirondacks Mountains located in Upstate New York. Since the age of 16 though I've lived in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Florida, Texas, and now Oregon. I've traveled to Utah, Colorado, Washington, and all up and down the east coast. I love meeting new people, trying new food, and completely taking myself out of my comfort zone to explore a new place and learn more about myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couch surfing is a great way to experience the local experience when traveling. I want to have fun, meet new people, and make connections.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a lot of different music. I mostly listen to EDM. But I love classic rock (AC/DC, etc.), hip-hop/rap, r&b, alternative rock, indie rock, etc. I really like movies too. I usually watch dramas and comedies. I just watched 'Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot'. Probably my favorite movie I've watched this year. I also love to watch animated movies and stop-motion films. I love the way Wes Anderson does his animation. I'm an avid reader. I usually read sci-fi and fantasy books. I'm currently reading the Hobit and completed Harry Potter, as well as Enders game this summer. I've read 14 books since May, so I really do love to read.

I can teach you how to cook some Venezuelan cuisine, how to make jewelry (if that's what you're interested in), share some great stories, and learn more about you and what makes you who you are.
