I am an international music performance student from Venezuela. I live in Natchitoches, Louisiana, a small and beautiful town in north Louisiana. I am currently a senior undergraduate student at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. My major is violin performance. Before coming to study in the United States, I used to teach English and Spanish as a second language in Quito, Ecuador. I love traveling and meeting new people, having interesting conversations, playing chess with my friends and having pizza or coffee at an outdoor café on a Saturday afternoon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is great to meet people from different cultures and make long-lasting relationships. Couchsurfing is a great way to do that.
