About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To share good times with wonderful people from anywhere and everywhere!

ABOUT ME

I'm a student at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, currently studying Art & Design. My area of focus in art is photography but now I'm excited about the things I am learning in other media too! People and places are the subject matter that interest me most, so I find the CS project to be an exceptional idea!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't judge others; it's impossible to know their whole story. Smile; it's contagious :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm ready to host people in the lovely college town of Ann Arbor, MI.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had beyond amazing experiences surfing couches in France (Paris, Annecy, Nice), Spain (Barcelona and Madrid), and Morocco (Meknes) on my first overseas trip. I thank my lucky stars that I discovered CS just before departing the U.S. My experiences just would never have been as vivid and meaningful without having met all the wonderful people I met through CS.

Music, Movies, and Books

Adventures in Babysitting is the greatest movie of all time. I love Motown music (but so many others as well!). Art history books, magazines, and any books that teach me about different cultures.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw President Barack Obama speak at my university's graduation! The experience was amazing because the speech was truly wonderful and I was sitting so close to him that I was next to the secret service! (Look for my photos from the event :) & here is the link to the speech: http://www.hulu.com/watch/146217/the-obama-administration-obama-defends-role-of-government )
Yosemite is the most awe-inspiring place in nature I have ever seen in my life... a must-see during your lifetime!
Tulum must be the most beautiful site I have ever seen on a coastline.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to give you photography tips and give you advice on visiting almost any part of California... it's an AMAZING state! Michigan is nice too :)

I'm always interested in improving my Spanish speaking skills :D
