Hi! Hola!

As of mid-October, I started a 6 month journey throughout South America. My goal is first and foremost to improve Spanish. I hope to visit Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Brazil, and Uruguay. Just like the most of us, no plans are set in stone and I am open to any ideas you may have!

I left everything in the States, and am looking to experience all things new in this part of the world!

I am a huge believer in making new relationships and experiencing all the world has to offer. I love to travel, dance my booty off (whether it's salsa, hip hop, ballet, tango--still learning, or the classic step/touch), find zen in yoga, watch/see/listen to any kind of art, meet new people, explore nature, and so much more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Funny story... In our small college dorm room, my roommate hosted several couch surfers from Germany, Australia, England, Argentina, etc. From then on I was fascinated with being able to meet people from across the world, hear their stories, show off my city, and receive the same treatment in return!

What better way to immerse in a new city, state, country, or continent than with the locals! I want nothing more than my trip to be the most authentic experience ever. So...

Give me the real shit. What would you do if you were me?
