About Me

I work at the University of New Mexico the EO/CR office. I make art and love food and traveling. I'm studying Economics and Sociology and working my way towards a MPP. I like meeting new people and learning new things :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

~The world is full of interesting people to meet and connect with!
~Locals know more about the best places to hang out, eat and drink!
~Sometimes the environment might be better than a hotel, perhaps there is a better view, better reading material (rather than that dusty old bible in hotel nightstands), and entertaining characters to be around!

Interests

I love to...
Breathe fresh and sometimes new air, sing, dance, listen to awesome music!, EAT and DRINK, cook, bake, coffee (yes,I like to coffee a lot!), brew beer, do yoga, bike, enjoy nature, laugh, learn new things, jump, run, swim, hoop, travel, go on adventures and meet interesting animals, especially humans!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I listen to a very eclectic array of music (all types of rock, spanish, blues, jazz, blue grass, country, various electronic forms of music, r&b, hip hop, tribal, etc. ) My mood influences what I listen to at any given time.

Movies: I love foreign movies and documentaries. But I also like comedy, drama, horror/thriller, and many other types of movies.

I love to read as well but I prefer non-fiction. Anything about Art or Medical history really interests me and books that teach me how to do new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Studied Art History in Rome, Italy.
Visited Japan for the 400 year anniversary of Porcelain Ceramics.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach someone to make a useful vessel on a pottery wheel and I can teach someone how to brew beer.

I love to learn! Especially things that might be useful for survival and happier living!

I can share stories! I can share positive vibes! and I can share whatever else I have to spare!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories of adventures I've had and also be a good chaperone on possible outings. I am also house-trained! I am not above cooking for people ( i actually love to cook) and I can work a vacuum, broom or do dishes!

Countries I’ve Visited

Haiti, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Mexico

Countries I’ve Lived In
