About Me

I'm from St.Thomas, U.S Virgin Islands... the small dot in the Caribbean Sea.. right next to Puerto Rico
Moved to the US when I was about 12 years old. Hopefully I'll get to leave the country again once I graduate next year =]

Currently studying Early Care and Education, just trying to find ways to improve the education system around me. After this degree I will go on to a Master's Program in Speech Therapy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is a great way to travel. So far it has provided more lasting travel experiences and awesome friendships

Interests

Dance - ballet, lyrical jazz, tap, hip hop, salsa, I'll pretty much dance to anything.. I dance a lot when I eat..

Pole fitness - Taking one or two classes in the city i'm traveling in is usually one of the first souvenirs I give to myself. If there's a pole/aerial aerobics studio in your city definitely try it. I'm so down to go with you if you've never tried a class before.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my job and took a 2.5 year break from school to volunteer in Eastern Europe with a months notice

Cliff Jumping in Dubrovnik, Croatia

Swimming In Cenotes in the Yucatan

Parading through the streets of Budva, Montenegro as a Hitchhiker.. there's a bit of a story to that

Made a dream come true and visited Iceland along with an amazing group of Couchsurfers!
I'd like to think God made that country for me but misplaced it a bit too far north.

Traveled to Toronto for a tattoo. Planning to go back for another

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think I make a pretty good carrot cake and banana bread.. I don't usually like sharing food but I'll share this with you
