About Me

I'm very open minded, curious, optimistic, and trusting and yet am constantly trying be more open minded and improve myself in different ways every day. I try and take every opportunity I can to get to know people and hear what they have to say; their point of view, stories, life journey etc. In addition to being constantly blown away by how amazing our world is, I love traveling because I never cease to be amazed by the people I meet! I especially love staying in hostels, using BlaBlaCar, using air bnb and long uber rides - because we don't have BlaBlaCar in the US :( - because, without fail, I always seem to have the best conversations (the ones that make you think for days after)!

Im really excited to get started using couchsurfing because just from the profiles I've read, the people hosting and searching for places to stay seem to be like minded in the sense that they are using it to meet new people and expand their cultural knowledge.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my favorite parts about traveling is sharing stories and interesting conversations with new people. I'm new to couch surfing but am really excited to try it out because it seems to be a great way to do so! :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love asking questions and learning about peoples passions, point of view, way of life etc. I especially love learning about cultures that are completely different from my own! I also really sharing my stories and with others.

Despite having diet restrictions (long story I can tell you later if you're interested in health/diet/allergy/immune system stuff!) I also love trying new foods and learning new recipes.

I am happy to teach/practice speaking English or Spanish with you if that's what you're looking to learn/improve. Likewise I'd be super interested starting to learn a new language from you.
