About Me
"Every life we touch is a world we change"
I believe in that quote because no matter how small of an impact we have on others, it's their whole life we are impacting.
I was born and raised in Venezuela and my parents moved to the states in 2004. 12 years later I'm currently living in Paris studying abroad for a semester! I'm new to couch surfing but I find it's such a wonderful community and since I'll be traveling now in Europe, the best way to learn about all the wonderful culture and the places I'll visit is through the people themselves.
Caring spirit, lively personality, and bundle of laughter are key things about myself. I love to go out dancing, drink wine, laugh some more, and hear the stories of people from different parts of life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am currently studying abroad in Paris and will be traveling to various places throughout Europe. I believe local and pure are the best ways to get to know a city and it's cultures- so being part of a community that values and shares that locality is important.
I'm looking forward to meeting amazing individuals that can share a little bit about theirselves and share their culture with me :)

Music, Movies, and Books
Proud Latina, I take my latin music wherever I go. I listen to a variety of genres, both new and old school. Classical masterpieces are a must in my playlist.
Movie junkie and lover, I love being able to escape time and reality as I watch great films. Action, Comedies, and anything about the world and beyond are loved. Children's cartoons are a favorite
I love many of Paulo Coelho's books. I'm a sucker for any story that provides a time for self-reflection and dwells on the human spirit and experience.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Hearing stories, learning about other people, and laughing 'til my stomach hurts are things I love to be a part of. I have had incredible experiences both traveling and where I come from so there are tons of stories to share!
I love both the outdoors and the city vibe. I love meaningful insightful conversations long into the night with a great bottle of wine as well as a crazy wild night dancing 'til my feet drops. This life has so many different possibilities that I love to open myself and experience it all.
Plus: I know how to make delicious Arepas!
