I am going into my fourth and final year at the University of Dayton, and will be graduating in the spring with a degree in International Business Management and Spanish. I am passionate about travel and immersing myself in other cultures. I love trying new food, listening to music, being introduced to new things, and meeting new people, of course. I recently lived abroad in Granada, Spain for 5 months. I immersed myself deep into the culture and can say my knowledge of the Spanish language is currently at it's peak, but I am still learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mainly because I love meeting new people/fellow travelers and listening to the stories they have to tell. Also to get to know locals, and to experience life in the area through their eyes.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music: Indie, rock, some oldies, chill and relaxin music at any time; hip hop, pop, and R&B if I'm going out; plus music in other languages, especially Spanish and Hindi.

I love reading about other people's travels through novels, but I also love a good mystery/thriller or love-story as well.

As for movies, I've been into watching documentaries lately, but my favorite genre in general is definitely comedy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled to India for 5 weeks and lived as a local, doing volunteer work in various parts of the country such as Bangalore, Dehli, and Calcutta. It was the best experience of my life and I hope to return one day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my stories from my travel experiences thus far. I can attempt at teaching you some Spanish, or if you're fluent we can have a conversation in both English and Spanish (my Spanish will still be a little broken). I hope to learn new food recipes, and I can try to teach some as well (I'm a pescatarian). I would love to learn some phrases from another language you may know, as well as learn about new cultures, and places in the world that you have experienced.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experiences, life stories, and a lot of laughter.
