I am a student from University of California, Santa Cruz and I am currently studying abroad at the University of Bordeaux, France. I am 25 years old and I will be ready to graduate after spring semester 2020. I'm a pretty easy-going and open-minded person. I plan very little when I travel so I love to take as many recommendations as possible.

Unfortunately I cannot host anyone at the moment because I am traveling so I would like to express my sincere gratitude for all hosts out there!!! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and meet new people who can show me a side of the world that one cannot find on a tourist pamphlet. A good friend of mine showed me the Couchsurfing website and I have had some great experiences through it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn new languages even if it's just the basics. I am currently taking up drawing so I would also love some tips and, if you're okay with it, I can practice drawing you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have some fantastic stories of my voyages and I can share some insight about Los Angeles culture. I also love poetry so I can probably even write a poem dedicated to you. I can also teach you a bit of Spanish or things so you can sound like a local in Los Angeles! ;)
