About Me

ABOUT ME

Was born in New York
and lived there for half of my life.
Moved to Spain
and lived there half of my life.
Graduated from Spain and returned to the US
and received my BFA Graphic Design in Rhode Island.
Moved back to Spain
and was an art assistant teacher.
Now in the Netherlands
and doing my Masters at the Design Academy in Eindhoven.

Other things I do besides travelling is sing, dance and eat good food.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short. Get as much experience and exposure as you can. Don't let sad things that happened in your life get in the way of your dreams.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I take people in (doesn't matter how many nights) and show them around if it fits my schedule. There's always room for a nice meal at home or outside in the garden or parc!

I also like to couch when travelling and so far I've had a good experience!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Spent a day in Toledo and did a tour with Couchsurfing locals.

I've been a guest once in Rouen, France, and it was an amazing experience to see the city with a local and not feel like a tourist!

Hosted with my boyfriend some surfers during Queen's Day weekend -- it was a blast!

Have also done a couple of one-night-hosting.
