My traveling itch began with an amazing five months spent living and traveling in Colombia. Ever since, I have been captivated by travel, and by everything that the world has to see and experience.

I love cities, but also to be outside and go on outdoor adventures. I love food and think this is the best way to experience a place, so I'm always looking to find the best places to eat anywhere I am.

I will be starting a new adventure in Shanghai in October, where I'll be teaching English for a year.

I'm fairly fluent in Spanish, and learning Chinese.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be able to leave any place I go with the unique perspective of someone who lives their daily life there.
