Hello
My name is Maria and I am 22 years old living in San Diego, California, US. I think of myself as a positive, outgoing and friendly person. I have longed to travel for my entire life and I have been doing it little by little.

I studied International Business and Portuguese at San Diego State University.

I am originally from Guadalajara, Mexico, and I moved to the U.S. when I was 18 years old.

My dream is to travel the world and I enjoy learning about other cultures and experiencing them. Couchsurfing has become something I look forward to every time I travel. I like immersing myself in the culture of the country I go and I truly enjoy getting to know new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of getting to know new people from different cultures through Couchsurfing. I want to share my own culture and learn from others. There is no better way of learning about cultures than by staying with locals.
