Julia here! Born and raised in Los Angeles. Currently going to school for environmental science and l plan on studying a few languages as well. I work as a behavior interventionist for special needs students. I have around 3 months of summer vacation every year that I hope to fill with as much adventure as possible!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Unconventional friendships with people on a similar wavelength ♥

Interests

I've been making music for fun my entire life, it's a huge part of me. I like lifestyle and nature photography, and also filmmaking. I also enjoy recording and photographing live music. Plant-related stuff like gardening and cooking veggie meals. I really love hiking and would love to link up with others who do as well! I'm open to trying new activities, especially outdoor ones that challenge me physically. I have quite a few hobbies, it's difficult to name them all.

Music, Movies, and Books

With music, everything from punk, post punk, dark wave, surf rock, rock n roll, indie, psychedelic, doom metal, to cumbia, reggae, salsa, boleros, Latin/folk music to hip hop, lofi, vapor wave, disco, funk- the list goes on.
When it comes to reading, I tend to lean more towards plants, existentialism, dystopias, politics, and horror/thrillers. But open to all recommendations.
For films, I could enjoy any type, a good film is a good film.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably hiking in the Peruvian Andes by myself. I was unprepared and very scared, but I pushed through after getting lost and almost giving up a few times. I made it to the most beautiful lake I've ever laid eyes on and had it completely to myself.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Would love to share art/art making. Always willing to learn/listen. I can help around the house and also cook some yummy vegan meals too!
