About Me

**If you’re considering opening up your home to me I really appreciate it, but I will not accept any invites to sleeping in the same bed/room with a man, thanks!

Hi there! I would describe myself as an urban hippie; I love animals and plants; nothing can beat a long hike with a breathtaking view. But I’m intrigued by culture and society. I’m hoping to indulge myself in natural and man made beauty while traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe living with a local creates genuine culture experiences, looking for future pen pals, also trying to figure out my passion in life and career ideas!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailed on all 5 Great Lakes

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm new in traveling international; I've stayed with a host family in Costa Rica for a month which was amazing, and I traveled around in Spain for another month.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach basic knitting if you have knitting needles, also I can teach you how to make granny squares if you have a crochet hook. I can pencil sketch a quick portrait. I’m also very good at braiding hair.

Countries I’ve Visited

Costa Rica, India, Spain
