Aside from my job, I love to write, paint, make videos. As long as I'm creating I'm happy :) I love yoga (I became a certified instructor during my travels in Nepal and India). Family comes before everything to me, my sisters are my best friends. I am a huge dog lover. I am a sustainable fashion enthusiast.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The purpose to me of traveling to different cities and places is to connect with the people who call it home. I would love for you to show me your love you have for your home through your eyes. If you're in Los Angeles or San Diego, I unfortunately am unable to host but I would love to show you around.

Interests

Traveling and everything that comes with it! Meeting new people, learning about new cultures, exploring new cities. I love to write and paint. I also love to play sports, especially basketball and futbol.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all music! From 60s folk to soul to hip hop to really emo coffee house acoustic. Depends on my mood. I love Diane Keaton and any movie she is in. Is it cliche to say I love the Godfather movies? Or maybe I just love them because they're associated with Dad - we used to watch them on repeat. My favorite books right now happen to be poetry books, as I've personally been inspired to write more poetry. Pablo Neruda is timeless, obsessed with Nayyirah Waheed.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spontaneously meeting my 60-year-old, Indian yoga instructor in Nepal and began yoga lessons. Just a few classes of traditional yoga led to a major perspective shift in my life. Wanting to spread the knowledge and joy to others, I went back with him to his hometown in Bangalore, India in order to pursue my teacher's training program.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a little bit of yoga, though I'm definitely rusty. I can teach you how to use social media to build a brand (that's the marketer in me). I am open to learning various languages, as English is unfortunately my only language. I am really interested in learning to play instruments, mainly the guitar.

What I Can Share with Hosts

YOGA! (though, again, a bit rusty)

Art: I love to paint, so if anyone has a blank wall that needs filling I would love to share my art.
