I'm an energetic young woman, who spent eight years in LA studying and pursuing her career goals to work in the entertainment business.

I have recently moved back to Europe where I am working to re-establish myself while traveling and rediscovering Europe after so many years away.

I currently live in Spain.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At the moment I have some meetings and opportunities to network in my industry that I wouldn't want to pass on, however, getting the cheapest tickets on my very tight budget means having to stay a day or two longer or buy tickets with long overnight layovers, thus I hope I can both explore new cities, make new friends, and save a little bit of money on my trips.

Interests

Besides drawing, listening to jazz, watching movies, and having an occasional drink at a bar, I do enjoy running with dogs, dog sledding, visiting museums and art galleries, talking while having a nice walk, and cooking dinner.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I participated in archeological excavations at a Mayan site in La Milpa, Belize. The job included daily hikes to the excavation sites, sifting through mud, photographing and describing daily findings, performing daily duties at the camp.

Not only did I learn a great deal about archeology and Mayan culture, but also I had the chance to see howling monkeys, boa snakes, and other animals, which really brought the jungle life in a middle of nowhere to a new level.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A fresh perspective on life between the two continents (N. America and Europe), knowledge in Film and Entertainment Business, on the occasions that I have my camera I can take some great headshots or just give me your camera and I can photograph you that way.

Lastly, I can help you with your English or cook a nice meal if the time permits!

P.S. Great conversations are automatically included!
