About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Being patient

ABOUT ME

I am currently a Latin American Studies Major at UC Santa Cruz. This year I decided to study abroad in Chile and Argentina; one semester in each country. My goal is to become fluent in Spanish. Studying in Valparaiso was an amazing experience. It opened my eyes to a new culture and alternative ways of living. I would love to continue learning, meeting new people, and experiencing new cultures by travelling.

PHILOSOPHY

It's not about the cards you're dealt, but how you play the hand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I actually have not yet couch surfed but I would like to try couch surfing when I study abroad in Buenos Aires this coming semester. It seems like a great way to travel inexpensively and meeting cool locals.
