American by birth, Mexican by blood, and curious by nature. I spent my teen years in the Dominican Republic, moved to Canada to obtain my Bachelor's degree, and am currently living in sunny Florida.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although I signed up on this site back in 2012, I haven't had the opportunity to actually crash on someone's couch. Now that I'm done school and have some money to spare I'm hoping to do as much traveling as time will allow and would like to save money while making new friends around the globe.

Interests

I'm an avid thrifter, I love to cook, and I'm fascinated by different cultures and traditions.

• cooking
• coffee
• baking
• traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

Some of my favorite movies include "Inglourious Basterds", "Saved", "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", "Dazed and Confused", "Good Fellas" and "Amores Perros".

Music-wise, I'll listen to everything from Bright Eyes to The Distillers, Immortal Technique, Banks, CCR, Sublime...my tastes are pretty varied but I have a soft spot for 90s rock.

Teach, Learn, Share

Want to practice your Spanish? Discuss current events? Smash down the patriarchy while baking peanut butter cookies? Then I'm your gal ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Coffee drinker? Tea drinker? Like honey? I may ask you some random questions but it's all to put together a care package as a thank you for opening up your home to me :)
