I’m originally from the east coast of the US but currently live in Los Angeles. I love discussing politics, thrifting, dancing, enjoying good food, a nice cocktail, hiking and exploring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel alone, but I find that I am almost never alone! I have met so many wonderful fellow travelers on the way. Some of my best experiences have been experiencing new places and cultures alongside other curious travelers. I love the couch surfing community because it brings the kindest, most open and wonderful people together to experience joy and wonder, and learn from one another. I think the giving and sharing spirit of the community brings out the best in all of us.

Interests

In addition to traveling, I enjoy salsa dancing, live jazz or Latin music, discussing or reading up on politics, working on my Spanish, taking a walk or hike, enjoying a good meal and having a good laugh.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always excited to practice and improve my Spanish. I can teach (or bore) you with American politics. I taught English as a second language so I’m happy to practice English with you if you’re still learning!
