CURRENT MISSION

I want to explore new places and learn new cultures while meeting awesome people.

ABOUT ME

I was born and lived in Chicago for 18 years. My family are all immigrants from Jalisco, Mexico.

I have now been living in Boulder, Colorado for 2 years studying Electrical Engineering. Boulder is known for its hippies and mountains. I love hiking and dancing here! Spanish and English are both my first languages. I want to study Biomedical engineering for graduate school in the West coast or East coast of the US next.

PHILOSOPHY
"Our destinies are entwined and inextricably bound together." Martin Luther King Jr.

Dream as if you will live forever. <3

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Last summer I studied abroad in Barcelona and met with people on CS to learn more about the awesome cultura catalana. I traveled in Spain for 3 weeks after that with people from CS and hostels. I had such a great time I am going to study abroad again.

Now I will study abroad in Madrid for 4 months.
Before that I will travel and meet awesome people in Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, and France.

My drive for traveling comes from having lived in one house in Chicago from when I was born until I moved out for college at 18. Although I love Chicago, I desire to experience and taste the world all over!
