About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See the World

ABOUT ME

I have always loved to travel. Ever since I was little my parents would always take me to new and exotic places. I am fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to visit almost every island in the Caribbean and then some. This upcoming spring semester I am spending some time abroad, attending Goldsmiths, in London, England.

Outside of traveling I am also really into art. I am attending school to become a Graphic Designer, I love anything to do with design, photography and fashion. Over the summer I also was lucky enough to snag an internship with the design team at Donna Karan (DKNY) in NYC. It was an amazing experience I will never forget.

PHILOSOPHY

"To the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."
-Albus Dumbledore

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Being a college student, with little money, this site provides endless opportunities to travel and meet some awesome people, that would otherwise be unavailable. At first I was alittle skeptical but after speaking with some friends that have used this site I am more then confident that I will have a positive experience and cannot wait to get traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent 2 nights with the Boruca Tribe, in the Osa Penninsula of Costa Rica. We slept in huts and what an amazing experience it was. At night I would wake up in the hut and hear the sound of bats flying overhead within our hut, which was quite alarming since I was on the top bunk. The indigenous people were very welcoming and I learned many things from the experience. At the time I did not realize how meaningful it would be until I got back to the U.S., and it is something that I will never forget.
