Hello, I'm currently a public health senior who lives in Baltimore, MD. I was born in Bogota, Colombia and then moved to the US when I was 6 years old. My hometown in the US is Saint Petersburg, FL. I am passionate about environmental health and social justice. This includes the social determinants of health, the built environment, and urban issues.

I first realized my love for travelling when I decided to embark on a 1 year journey as an exchange student in Taiwan. Now that I'm graduating soon, the travel bug has bit me again! I am looking forward to meeting new people and exploring amazing places.

I enjoy hosting people from different countries as well as taking foreigners to cool places that they'd enjoy. Particularly, I have taken them to the best Florida beaches around my area, to see alligators, go parasailing, Fourth of July fireworks on the beach, live music and bars, night clubs, Disney World, parasailing, museums, outdoor movies, the boardwalk, the pier, a pirate ship, watch the sunset on a rooftop bar, the harbor, malls, and shopping outlets. We have also made s'mores by a campfire, margaritas, and grilled food. Due to where I currently live I can't host anyone right now but hopefully in the near future!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am excited to be a part of a community who shares the same values as me, from travelling to friendship and fun. I hope to get to know people from all over the world and learn from them!
