Hi I´m Karla, 5 foot 3 of pure creative energy. Avid reader, music enthusiast and seeker of experiences. Multitasker, workaholic and tech junkie. What else can I say? I´m passionate about people, about change and about leaving a dent in the world, for the better. Currently obsessed with organic food and weird juices.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is just one of the most exciting things there are in this world. Discovering new places, getting lost in narrow streets, endless beaches… Meeting people from all around the world, getting to experience other cultures… Is enriching in every level possible, you broaden your mind and your horizons, you grow every time.

Currently I cannot host anyone cause I do not own a place to do so, but I sure would like to in the future. For now I´m looking for new experiences, getting to know different places as a local would and meet new and interesting people. I´m eager to learn about other cultures and stories.

Music, Movies, and Books

I´m a sucker for Harry Potter... Can´t help it, no shame though.
Also, I have a sweet spot for game of thrones.
Recently watched begin again, fell in love with it.

I like to consider myself an aspiring singer/songwriter. Music has been a constant passion throughout my life and I´ve started to build an online/local presence by uploading stuff to Youtube and playing a few gigs here and there. You can check some out if you´ll like :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have snorkeled with turtles and sharks in Maldives, organized an small acoustic event on Finland with a friend of mine and crossed the US though the 66 route.
There are still tons of crazy things I would like to do.

Teach, Learn, Share

I´m down to learn about anything and everything. I love to learn about other cultures, fun facts and different kind of stories.
I could teach you how to play guitar/ukelele and we could jam anytime!
I can bake some pretty tasty cookies too. Chocolate chip, M&Ms? You name it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Improvised gigs and a fun time
I would be able to bake some really nice cookies (I´ve been told I can at least...), other than that... maybe not so much, my cooking is not that remarkable (I´m a fast learner though).
