About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Make travelling a realistic dream for everyone!
ABOUT ME
I love meeting new people and getting their opinions on things about their lives that seem commonplace to them, but which are incredibly interesting to me.
My hobbies include painting and drawing, watching tons of cliche Hollywood films, walking in basically any park anywhere, and meeting new people. Oh, and I'm addicted to holidays! I'm proudly nerdy, especially about languages and school, but I'm a friendly, well-adjusted nerd. In fact, if anyone speaks Spanish and wouldn't mind trying to comprehend my imperfect Spanish, I'd love to have a coversation! (De hecho, busco a cualquier persona que quiera hablar conmigo en español; especialmente si tenga paciencia – mi español no es perfecto obviamente. :)
P.S. I LOVE golden retrievers.
PHILOSOPHY
Carpe diem (in a non-dangerous fashion)...
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm a college student which means I don't have too much to offer, but I do have a couch in Austin, TX which is a pretty awesome place (especially if you're into the music scene).
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I surfed in Europe and LOVED it! I'm sure it'll be a bit different as a host and in a country where I speak the native language, but I'm willing to give it a try.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I am obsessed with The View in New York. No, not the TV show. It's an overpriced restaurant on the top of the Marriot Marquis in Time Square. It's draw is that it is atop the Marquis aka really really high and it rotates! I just love being able to revel in the New York skyline. The Eiffel also has this effect on me. Eating amazing bread while sitting in front of the Eiffel just makes me happy. Finally, one time I was stranded in Paris with no plans or a place to get rid of my 40 kg bag, about to cry, and the Parisian bus driver offered me a cookie. Changed my whole outlook.
