I grew up in the Bay Area in California but have been living in Portland, Oregon for the past 8 years. I just moved to Spain for the year to work as an English language assistant in a secondary school. I love traveling, anything outdoors (especially rock climbing and hiking,) and trying new food! I also make experimental electronic music and love checking out the local art scenes and meeting other artists when I'm traveling. If you want to hear some of my music I have an album up on spotify and most streaming services (Artist- Vioulet / Album- Kamikakushi).

Crecí en California, cerca de San Francisco, pero llevo 8 años viviendo en Portland, Oregon. Acabo de mudarme a Sevilla, estoy trabajando como un auxiliar de conversación, ensañando ingles como lengua extranjera. Me encanta viajar, todas las actividades al aire libre (especialmente escalada y senderismo,) y probar comida típica de un lugar! Además hago música electronica experimental y me encanta conocer a otrxs artistas! Si quieres escuchar a mi música puedes encontrarla en spotify y otros servicios de streaming (Artist- Vioulet / Album- Kamikakushi).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really love meeting new people and think couchsurfing is a great way to do that, would love to grow my community of friends! Would especially like to meet other LGBTQ+ folks. Also, I think it's really great when you have a chance to meet people who live where you're traveling because you can get a much better perspective of the place.

Me gusta mucho conocer a gente y creo que couchsurfing va a ser una buena manera a hacer eso, me gustaría crecer mi comunidad de amigxs. Especialmente me gustaría conocer a otra gente LGBTQ+. Además, me parece genial si cuando viajas puedes conocer a gente que viven donde estás viajando porque te da una perspectiva mucho más amplia del lugar, la cultura, y la gente.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My partner and I lived out of a camper van I built and travelled across the U.S. for 1 year.

I have been climbing for 9 years so happy to introduce people to climbing, I'm a good cook and baker, and would love to share and learn about different bands, always looking for new music!
