I am a 26 year old originally from NY traveling Central America. I am very respectful, quiet, and friendly. I love to sample the coffee and food of new places, and will gladly cook for you! I went to college for musical theatre, and subsequently moved to NYC for three years to pursue acting. The world was calling me, however, and I decided to leave to travel the world for a while (or forever..I haven't decided yet).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to get to know the local culture of a new place, and meeting locals or ex-pats is such an amazing way to do that. When I traveled in Europe for two months I stayed with a lot of friends and friends of friends who lived in the city I was visiting. Getting to see the city from a local perspective really changed my entire trip and made it unforgettable! I got to know Europe in such a real way. I hope to explore the rest of the world in the same way.
