Hi there!
I'm a returned Peace Corps volunteer traveling Central and South America after living and working as a health volunteer in Belize for two years. I love good food, good conversation, and seeking out new adventures. I speak English and Spanish.

I'm a naturally clean, conscientious person, eager to learn and share with others. I love to read, write, exercise, and explore.

I also love to get downnnn on the dance floor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After living in Belize for two years, I realized that travel and connecting with new people are two of the best ways to grow as a person. There is no better way to experience a new place than with the people who know it best. I want to learn from my hosts and share experiences, hopefully forging new friendships along the way.
