CURRENT MISSION

to make people smile with yummy food

ABOUT ME

I feel that the best way to experience a culture and place is to meet the locals and see the city from their perspective. I love traveling, experiencing the culture (specially the food!), and meeting new people.

When I'm traveling, I am a very active. There are not enough hours in the day for me to truly experience a place. I try to fit as much in as I can while I travel and make the most of my experience.

I've done my travels around Asia during my study abroad semester in college, now I'd like to see Europe, South America, Africa and Australia. My goal is to visit every continent before the age of 30. I am halfway to that goal (3 more continents to go).

PHILOSOPHY

What goes around comes around, so treat others the way you'd want to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am always open to meeting new people. If you are in the Houston area, feel free to contact me to meet up or get advice on things to do, places to eat, etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've never done couch surfing before. My good friend is an avid couch surfer and recommended that I use it for my upcoming trip to Europe. Since I'll be traveling by myself, I would feel more comfortable meeting someone from the city who can give me advice on how to truly enjoy the city the way a local would.

Interests

I love cooking, and i'm good at it (from what my friends have told me). It brings me great joy when someone really enjoys my food.

When I have time, I like to go salsa dancing, although I'm a bit rusty.

Traveling and photography go hand in hand for me. I love to document my adventures so that others and enjoy my story with me.

I love animals! I have a 10 yr old Pomeranian mixed pekineses. Her name is Missie and she loves to snuggle.
