About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live life as if I'm hosting a travel show.

ABOUT ME

I love traveling and getting lost in the world. I study Spanish and I am a fan of Spanish culture. I am also teaching myself Catalan and Portuguese. I attended the University of California-Berkeley and will be moving to San Francisco soon. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with friends and watching/playing various sports.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only been a guest. Once in Umeå, Sweden and once in Barcelona. Very different experiences. I don't mind bringing food or helping with daily chores as a way of paying back whoever's hosting me. I like couch surfing both for singularity of the experience just as much as, if not more than, the lower cost it entails.

Interests

I like traveling to urban areas and getting lost in the city. I like traveling alone or in small groups and making friends wherever I go. I like going to museums, sporting events. I study Spanish and I have distant relatives in Spain who I live with when I travel to Europe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in Spain during the World Cup in 2010 and I saw a city of 6 million people turn into one giant party. That was a major influence in my decision to study Spanish.
