Hi y'all! I'm a student from New Orleans studying at Colorado College.
Hola amigxs, soy una estudiante de Nueva Orleans y estudio en Colorado College, en los EEUU, pero vivía en Quito hace años y lo extraño full full.
Привет всем! Я из Нового Орлеана, но я жила в Москве и Питере. Теперь я учусь русский язык в Колорадо-Спрингс! Я хочу говорить со тобой))
Bonjour, je viens de Nouvelle-Orleans mais j'etudie à Colorado, j'ai aprendu francais quand j'avais vit a senegal le derniere été et toujours je veux practiquer la langue avec quelqu'un :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Being from New Orleans, I have seen websites like AirBNB not only outprice locals from neighborhoods and erode culture, but also widen the canyon between tourists and locals. When I travel, I do not want to participate in the same isolating tourism that I see and despise in my own city, which is why I think Couchsurfing is a great platform to meet new people, participate in local culture, and something that I really support!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Latin Music--I am unashamed of my love of Reggaeton and passion for Shakira. Outside of latin music, I also listen to a lot of hip-hop and rap (including Russian rap, see OXXXYMIRON) and Turkish music (see: Sertab Erener, Redd, Feridun Düzağaç).
Television: Unhealthy amount of telenovelas--Las Aparicio, La Reina del Sur, La Niña, and Jane the Virgin, to name a few.
Books: I read a lot and I'm currently trying to read more fiction and poetry

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking and love sharing my New Orleans culture with everyone. Growing up, my mama taught me that it didn't matter how far away I was from my Mississippi River home because I could always recreate Louisiana in the kitchen. Would be more than happy to cook anything for you--gumbo, jambalaya, crawfish ettouffee, you name it and we can cook it together :)
