Fun, peppy 20-something who loves to travel, meet people, and experience new things. I'm a lover of art, culture, history, and nature.

Grab-bag facts about me:
I'm a bargain shopping expert!
I've never met an ice cream I didn't like
A great afternoon to me is spent creating Excel spreadsheets and listening to Ted Talks/podcasts

I'm the oldest of 6 kids, was homeschooled through 8th grade, and lived with all my siblings, parents, grandparents, AND great-grandma under one roof. Boy do I have stories for you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My hubby and I have been planning a year through Central & South America. It got delayed with Covid but now we're starting to plan again!

Sharing space and resources with complete strangers makes a big world feel small. I love to practice generosity/hospitality in my own life, and I look forward to receiving the generosity/hospitality of others!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Latin pop/reggaeton, early 2000s everything, musicals
Books: I'm a sucker for a real tear-jerker. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (Jonathan Safran Foer) wrecked me. Caramelo by Sandra Cisneros made me laugh til I cried and cry til I laughed. Great Expectations by Dickens is also a fave, and the answer I give when I want people to think I'm smart.
Movies: All things Disney/Pixar, Nacho Libre, Moonlight, Forrest Gump, Shawshank Redemption

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I hiked three miles through dense Guatemalan rainforest to get to a waterfall/swimming hole....on crutches.

Teach, Learn, Share

Happy to teach Mexican slang, budgeting & personal finance, or even web design & digital marketing
I'm a lifelong learner and I'm eager to absorb anything you have to offer!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm full of funny stories about the scrapes I find myself in!

If you want a chuckle, ask about my fruit-related injury, my bagpipe phobia, and my numerous sex-ed misconceptions....

I'm a low-key, low-maintenance guest.
