CURRENT MISSION

To be generous with my time, money and self.

ABOUT ME

Hola! I recently received my bachelors degree in neuroscience and am suddenly free, for the first time, to indulge in my other interests for a while!

Because of this, I have been spending this whole year indulging in reading, painting, traveling, meeting incredible people that constantly teach me to have a new appreciation for life, cooking, hiking, camping and last but not least BIKING!!

While hiking to Machu Picchu I met a fellow biking enthusiast, we talked for a day and quickly decided that we would meet again in Ushuaia and bike north to Santiago. It would be the perfect trip with the perfect mix of culture, nature, camping and cycling! It was great!

A little too great really because after really getting to know Chile and Argentina, we wanted to know North America in the same way. We want to know the land and nature by biking, hiking and camping but also the people by taking the time to share with anyone with the time for us:) I think that every person has something to offer the world and is in many ways more insightful and skilled than I. Because of this, I'd like to take the time to learn from all of the people around me:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet like minded people open to exploring and learning.
