Born and raised in Queens, New York. I've been here my entire life. I love it- but I dream of seeing the whole world. I teach third grade in a bilingual program, which means that I teach all the subjects in Spanish to two different classes every other day.

I love making new friends, having spontaneous experiences, sharing laughs, and all around having a good time. I'm not the best at planning, but I enjoy running wild with other people's suggestions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and immersing myself in new cultures. I feel that the best way to do this is to live like a local and meet amazing people who can share bits and pieces of their lives with me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really just enjoy music in general whether it's to dance to, sing along with, or just relax to. My interests vary but some of my favorite artists include Shakira, Ed Sheeran, RHCP, Blink 182, Bob Marley, Miguel, Juan Luis Guerra, and Fonseca.

Pulp Fiction, Boondock Saints, The Rock

I can lose myself in a good book and not come up for air until I've finished. My top 3 favorite reads were the entire Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series, The Harry Potter Series (3,4,1,7,6,5, and 2 if I had to rank them), and The Charm School.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went skydiving and THEN developed a fear of heights!
