I'm a native of Los Angeles, California with a passion for seeing the world and learning about other cultures. I'm a pretty quite person but I'm also very sarcastic and enjoy cooking as well as talking about all sorts of topics.

Currently I'm studying my Master's in Germany, I'm hoping to be able to travel to do research for my thesis.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to see more of the world through the local’s eyes especially since they know about food and festivities first hand. I'm always open to meeting new friends, gaining experience from their stories and hopefully making some of my own.

I usually travel alone but I genuinely find comfort in interacting with others - I am a good listener and can easily adjust to any kind of humor and I love trying new types of food, I'm not picky. I want to stay up late and hear about your life story.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teaching English in Ecuador for 2 years as part of the US Embassy's Peace Corps program.

Working at a refugee organization in San Diego, California helping people get adjusted to their new home.

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope to learn about different countries and its way of life. How is it similar to mine, how is it different?

I can also help people who are trying to learn English or Spanish.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer you some good home-cooked food depending on if I have the right ingredients. I'm orderly, careful and attentive so I will do my best to respect your time and take proper care of your house.
