About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Run risks and meet strangers.

ABOUT ME

I am one of six siblings...all of whom I love dearly, although we have nothing in common. My life is amazing.
Soy la tercera de seis hermanos...y quiero a todos con todo el corazón aunque no tenemos nada en común. La vida es maravillosa.

PHILOSOPHY

Make mistakes. Refuse to conform. Color outside the lines.

Comete errores. Rechaza conformarse. Colorea fuera las líneas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Proof not all US citizens live like the cast of Jersey Shore.
Prueba que todos los estadounidenses no viven como los "actores" de Jersey Shore.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Without a doubt, traveling is more fun with locals.
Sin duda, viajar es mejor con gente de la región.

Interests

Music, photography, theater, painting, drawing, etc. I love baking and cooking (specifically banana bread and granola). I enjoy sports (such as biking, running, skiing, and yoga).
Gardening. I can't justifiably describe the pride I feel when I cut into a perfect heirloom tomato that came from my very own garden. Nature is absolutely amazing like that.
Música, fotografía, teatro, pintado, dibujo, etc. Me encanta cocinar y hornear (específicamente pan de banana/plátano o granola). También, me gustan deportes (por ej montar en bici, correr, esquiar, y hacer yoga).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Iguazú Falls, Argentina--absolutely amazing!
One crazy thing I've done is knowingly travel from Peru to South Dakota and then to Mexico with a broken arm over the course of two weeks. The story ends with a metal plate connecting the distal end of my radial bone on my right arm. I'm happy to share it with you, if you have the time to hear about it. (As a side effect, I am in the process of overcoming a fear of sports/activities with the possibility of high-speed collision.)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play the alto saxophone but I would love to learn how to play the guitar. I am always happy to improve my Spanish while learning French is on my to-do list.
Toco el saxofón pero me encantaría aprender tocar la guitarra. Siempre estoy dispuesta a practicar mi español. Aprender francés ha sido una meta durante muchos años ya.
