Hello! I am a university student studying in Vancouver, Canada. Currently I am on a year long exchange program staying in Granada, Spain where I'm studying at the University of Granada. I study Computer Science and Neuroscience, love to rock climb and surf, play the guitar in a band in Calgary and love to travel and explore new places.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people! I love to learn about new cultures and share my culture with other people.
I think the best way to learn about a place is to meet the people living there and learn how they see it.

Interests

• music
• surfing
• languages
• ultimate frisbee
• yoga and meditation

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every week morning for a period of 4 months when I was living in Vancouver I would go swimming in the pacific around sunrise! This included in January, and sometimes the water could be 4-5 degrees celsius and raining, but I loved it!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am fluent in English, and semi-fluent in French and Spanish (my dad is from Santiago Chile originally) so am very happy to participate in language exchanges or practice! I also play Ultimate Frisbee on a team in Granada so if you have a frisbee I could teach you some of the basics!

I am very passionate about neuroscience and computer science, although I've only studied for a few years I have lots to share if you're interested, on topic like how the brain works, philsophy of mind, computer-brain connections or AI

Also very passionate about mindfulness, yoga and meditation, so if that is something you practice or are curious about I would love to share my experience or learn from yours :)

I can share music as well - In Canada I played guitar with a band for 12 years, and I can also sing. If you have a guitar I would love to play it or jam with you if you play an instrument or sing!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very happy to do dishes, can cook, play the guitar, language and cultural exchange - possibly maple syrup!
