Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing was introduced to me years ago by a teacher who raved about it. At the time, I thought I would never be able to do it. The time has finally come to travel and I couldn't be more excited to follow her footsteps. I want to be adventurous and meet new people in new places, see how they live, share experiences, and learn things I don't even know there is to learn.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to swim with wild sea lions in the Galapagos.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Cooking skills! I love cooking all sorts of vegan foods, from stuffed peppers to arepas to raviolis. I can also help with Spanish and English. If you'd like, I could also help you declutter and reorganize amongst other chores to make them go by faster.

Learn: I'd love to learn about you, your culture, your interests, and the area. Also, I've been studying French for years, but my pronunciation is pretty embarrassing if you'd like to help with that.

Share: A good time! We could watch your favorite movie, cook a meal together (or you can sit back and await some good food), go out, or simply just talk and talk.
