HEY Y 'ALL!

My name is Guadalupe Triana and I am originally from Austin, TX, but, I currently go to school in Portland, OR. Generally, I think I am a pretty outgoing, curious and pleasant person. I mean, I THINK I'm funny, but really, I am not entirely too sure... I really and enjoy when people are unapologetically and genuinely themselves around me. I haven't traveled too much, but I'm starting to get into it! While studying abroad, I've learned that attempting to get outside of your comfort zone and learn about other people not only makes you more interesting, but generally makes you cooler! Yeah! Anyway, feel free to ask questions or hit me up with interesting comments.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a way to keep things interesting...

But on a serious note, I love the idea of being able to connect with other people who want to show off their cities and meet people from around the world using social media. Seriously, what a cool idea.

Interests

I love and care about many things, so here it goes:

Family, food, dancing, drinking, shopping, social media, reading, writing, traveling, researching, social justice, taking pictures, laughing, long car rides, junk food, joking, politics, entertainment, celebrity culture, history, pizza, movies, naps, beaches, blogging, organization, etc. etc. I'll come back to this list later...

• socializing
• blogging
• bowling
• communications

Music, Movies, and Books

You know those people that say "music is everything to me"? Well, I can appropriately say that is very applicable to me and my life.

Every time I go somewhere and make a memory, I love to make a playlist that goes along with it. I listen to all kinds of music (but I'm not going to list any of my favorite artists). I'm also from the live music capital, so I know how to appreciate some solid live music.

As for movies and books, y'all already know I have my favorites too...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went bowling at The White House when I had an internship in Washington, D.C.!

Yeah!

(Seriously, there is a bowling alley in The White House.)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm more than willing to share a good laugh, a good story and some great food.
