Hello! I am a student at Eckerd College (currently a freshman). I love to travel, draw, and I have a mascot costume named Tod Puppy that I volunteer with both locally and abroad! For the most part, if I couch surf, I will have Tod Puppy with me (including his head, paws, arms, and tail).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to find a less expensive way to have accommodation! I found this website through my cousin, who has used it in the past.

Interests

• dogs

Music, Movies, and Books

With music, my favorites are: Selena Quintanilla (y Los Dinos), "Evergreen" Bollywood music, as well as 60's, 70's, and 80's pop.

Movies: Pretty much any animated movies, especially Disney movies!

Books: I love picture books of all kinds (being an aspiring children's book illustrator), but as far as books without pictures go, I enjoy The House on Mango Street (Sandra Cisneros), Esperanza Rising (Pam Munoz Ryan), and To Kill a Mockingbird (but I have not read that one in a while).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have volunteered with my mascot costume (Tod Puppy) at a school in Guatemala! All of the children ADORED him, and it was a very moving experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach art, but I also love to learn about it, too, especially illustration! I would also be willing to dress up as Tod Puppy and entertain. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share conversations, my drawings, and I am a great listener!
