Hey! I'm using couchsurfing to be able to really get to know a city and all it's inhabitants. I have gotten to know so many amazing couchsurfers and I really have gotten to trust this community. Having said that, I am not on couchsurfing to have hook ups. Traveling and personal space should be sacred and never invaded. Please don't contact me if your intentions are impure.

I'm a recent Mount Holyoke College grad where I studied environmental studies and philosophy. I was raised in Miami Florida and spent my childhood playing sports with the neighborhood kids. I still love playing sports like ice hockey and basketball. I also love going hiking and going on nature walks. I am currently setting out to walk the Camino de Santiago for a week. Next year I plan to do the French way all the way!

I'm vegan and have been discovering new ways too cook and oven roast veggies to bring out flavors that always amaze me. But my favorite thing to do in the kitchen is make myself the perfect cup of coffee. Coldbrew in the summer and black coffee with honey in the winter.

I would rather go to a museum or an art gallery than the beach but if we could do both I one day that would be awesome! However, after traveling to the most amazing and oldest places in Europe, I could use a beach or two.

I drink socially and love dancing! But I also like to balance my week with popcorn and excellent movies. Princess bride and Monty Pythons the Holy Grail have been a favorite this year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couch surfing because I want to travel the world and meet new friends along the way. I'm hoping that couch surfing will introduce me to some really awesome people that will show me the culture of the place I'm in and guide me through the really awesome places. At the very least, couch surfing will help me open my mind up to the possibilities!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Graduated college :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to dance and to speak to people so I'm always interested in learning new dances and learning new languages!

I also love teaching people about being vegan! Most of the time people are full of questions on how I live as a vegan and I'm always ready to give answers!

In truth, I've learned a lot about myself and others during my travels and it's pretty fascinating. Learning about others experiences and ways of life is the best gift in the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can be really interesting and pleasant company. I'm always in good humor and trying to have fun. I can have a good time no matter the situation!

I also bring a different perspective to the table. I'm a dual citizen and although I can move through both the us and Spain very well, I often feel like a stranger. I'm not familiar with common American idioms and my Spanish accent can make people think twice about my origin. I can adapt to culture changes and maneuver my way through them.

Also just let me know what alcohol or foods you like and I will bring/make it for you!
