CURRENT MISSION

Make the most of my summer in Europe

ABOUT ME

I love to laugh and I love to hear others laugh; laughter is the best catharsis, and I make a point to laugh everyday. When watching movies, I laugh at parts that no one else finds funny. I find humor in unexpected places, maybe this makes me weird, or maybe it means I will live longer, because I laugh more - I like to think its the latter! I also consider myself to be a curious person with a broad spectrum of interests, interests so diverse I cannot even begin to explore them all. I love listening to stories, and while the ones in books are great, I love life stories, and anectotes that people tell. Its amazing what you learn from a person's life story - people are fascinating. Though it is nerdy to state this I feel I must because for the last four years it has consumed much of my time and energy - I am a student at UCLA and I am earning a degree in Psychology and Disability Studies. I am currently studying abroad at Cambridge University. My goal is to become a doctor. On a lighter note: I love Mexican Food/ Latin American Cuisine - if I were to only eat one type of food for the rest of my life it would be Mexican food, so if I am staying with any of you CSers let me know of any great mexican resturants near your homes!

PHILOSOPHY

Use my skills and talents to benefit myself and others. I believe it is important for each individual to use their talents to leave the world in a better place than when they found it.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently traveling abroad, and I hope to learn more about the cultures of my CS hosts. I think people gain a greater appreciation for the places they travel to if they interact with the locals.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have no CS experience, but I hope to soon!

Intereses

Right now college is my biggest interest that consumes most if not all of my time. When I am not busy with school I enjoy reading, spending time with family and friends, cooking, camping, and painting. I love ballroom dancing (foxtrot, cha cha, tango). I am a beginner at salsa, but I would love to learn more! I
