ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Seattle but now call Miami home. I live with my boyfriend who I actually met through Couchsurfing.

I love to travel, learning about new cultures, trying new foods, speaking Spanish, meeting new people and dancing. I love experiencing everything life has to offer!

PHILOSOPHY

"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have endless changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun." - Alexander Supertramp

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I travel I prefer to stay with the people who actually live in the city I am visiting. Not only do I want to see new places but I want to learn about their culture! I love meeting new people and learning how they live!

I'm new to Miami and still exploring all it has to offer. I'd love to meet up with travelers to explore it with me.
