ABOUT ME

Saludos! I'm a young woman preparing for the first great adventure of my life! 10 days in Europe, alone. Wish me luck!

PHILOSOPHY

I like to believe that everything happens for a reason. I trust in karma, when I am good to others, others are good to me.
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” -M. Angelou

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to the CS community, introduced to it by an avid traveler friend. I am going to be moving soon to Chicago, and once I have a comfy couch I will be so excited to host some surfers like I hope some hosts will support me. In the meantime, I'd love to meet travelers for coffee or a drink in the Los Angeles area where I am from!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This will be my first experiece with CS, but I have heard many good things and am very excited to try it out!It seems like a very supportive and welcoming group!

Interests

I love to eat, I can think of nothing better than spending an evening with friends at the table with some delicious food & wine.I work as a Real Estate agent in CA, and I really enjoy exploring new areas and opportunities for my clients. I also work at an elementary school with ESL Kindergarteners, I'd like to think they keep me young and grounded.I also have a dream of travelling all over the world, which I will begin this March!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This past summer I spent some time in Chicago. One evening after dinner, I took a walk to the lake and (for the first time in my life) I saw beautiful lightning bugs! It felt like a movie, I was in a field of grass by sparkling water surrounded by twinkling lights.

I'm hoping that my next "amazing" moment will happen soon in Paris!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure what I can teach! I love to cook (warning: it's a bit hectic in the kitchen when I'm the boss!) I would be happy to cook a meal in your home, as a thanks for your hospitality!I have so much to learn! I want to immerse myself in the places I visit. I want to learn about the culture, rituals, history, architechture, language, FOOD!My travelling resolution is to try everything!
