I’m Gabriela, a photographer and journalist from California. I gravitate towards genuineness, peace, laughter and good music! I’m a learner and creator, and always easy going. My mama raised me right! I’m fluent in English and Spanish .

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I couldn’t find a decent place to stay in Amsterdam and a friend recommended this app 🤷🏻‍♀️

Music, Movies, and Books

Anyone doing their thing with confidence. Anything addicting; documentaries and anything with visually appealing graphics. I respect directors and musicians of all kinds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I touched the floor of the Great Barrier Reef 💧

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m becoming an English teacher in Spain come September; I love learning about people’s journeys and sharing food. I let everyone I meet teach me something and I hope I do the same 🌿
