About Me

I'm an Ecuadorian with Cuban and American parents and just finished studying in the United states. I have been traveling between Ecuador and the USA ever since I left and am currently working on an experiential learning course that partners teams of students with small community organizations in Ecuador. I get a lot out of meeting traveling and meeting travelers. I really really really enjoy making food with people and learning new recipes. My friends are everything to me and I am passionate about- fermentation,agroforestry, entomology, environmental conservation, and how people interact with their landscapes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have had great experience Surfing in Turkey and Georgia- and have had some chances to host some people in chilly Ithaca. It is a very engaging way to meet new wacky people from all over the world.
