Wanderlust hodophile. I love anything that entails exploring — whether that be through travel, food, languages, or the outdoors.

In terms of the outdoors, I like to do things like hiking, climbing, skiing, swimming — none of which I'm particularly good at, but I enjoy them nonetheless. I've also always wanted to get into mountaineering, so we'll see what comes of that. I also like relaxing in my hammock (which I, unfortunately, do not travel with). Once upon a time, I used to pair that with a book, but it's been a while.

I love our planet, and I ascribe to a minimalist environmentalist plant-based lifestyle to do my part in keeping it whole. If anyone has found a way to be plant-based AND plastic-free without living on a farm, let me know. I don't push my beliefs, and I strongly believe in leading by example.

All that said, I'm actually more of an outgoing introvert, so please don't be offended if I take some time to myself recharge.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and genuinely getting to know my host culture. People can be so cool! I guess I'm hoping that will rub off on me luhlz. Staying with residents is the best way to get a local perspective and immerse myself in the culture and lifestyle of the country/region I am in.

I’ve really been into hobby batching, so I’m only looking to host native or near-native Spanish speakers to improve my Spanish. Let me know that you are a Spanish speaker when asking to stay with me. The expectation will be that we speak at least some Spanish together during your stay.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: Afro-french music, konpa/zouk, Rara-tech, Amapiano

MOVIES: Historical and survival-type genres (think Colonial, Ancient China, Viking, Roman, Castaway/maroon, etc.) for both movies and shows. Though, I prefer movies to shows because there's less commitment, but the downside is I have to finish the story myself lol

BOOKS: School took away the joy of reading for me, but I'm trying to get back on it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
