Travel mostly for auditions and acting gigs. Next up I'll be off to Nashville, Tennessee from December 2019 until February 2019

IF YOU ARE VISITING EL PASO, I'm sorry I can't host in my home at the moment but I can offer a tent and cooking items to borrow for a stay at one of the nearby state parks. I am an excellent guide to all the local hiking trails. Don't hesitate to message me about that!

Chicanx, performer, feminist and outdoorsperson (feel free to ask me about any of these) I enjoy music and theatre. I eat strictly everything.

I love hiking, trail running, camping, and backpacking. Photography is something new that I want to get a lot better at. My survival job is substitute teaching (PreK-12, all subjects), I know there are way easier day jobs but I'm doing it and it is flexible. I have a great record collection and I LOVE COFFEE. Better if it is that locally roasted, pour over or french pressed local hipster kind! I drink IPAs and whiskey or martinis or cabernet sauvignon or... I'm good at karaoke and like to start with the high songs before I have a drink haha.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love traveling and better if I can meet new people and do some learning and growing. Getting local recommendations is wonderful and what better way to see the place you are visiting than through the eyes of a local. Have met some really lovely people on here throughout the years.
