Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I believe most people in this world are good and kind and want to communicate this to others. I love making new friends and connecting with people through new experiences.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had two couch surfing experience. One was a lovely hostel in Cusco, Peru. The other was in Santa Ana, El Salvador, where my best friend and I stayed with a very nice man. I ended up having to have an emergency appendectomy (everything turned out fine), and he was AMAZING and so helpful through it all.

Interests

I love traveling, rock climbing, salsa dancing, boxing, matcha, animals, Southeast Asian and Peruvian cuisines, quirky coffee shops, and a good book I can't put down.
