About Me

I was born in Bogota, Colombia, but was raised in Los Angeles, California.
I love traveling and experiencing all that the world has to offer. I am very laid back and extremely interested in meeting others and learning about their experiences because I believe we can learn new things from everyone. I have a dual degree in History and Anthropology, but work as a Freelance Photographer and Music manager for the time being before returning to my postgraduate research.

My Main IG is @nomadicseabass_

My goal for 2020 is to move to Europe to study Archaeology, but that all depends on what life decides to throw my way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience a new way of traveling and have the opportunity to meet like minded individuals.
Everyone has a story to tell and I love to learn from others and experience new cultures from a local perspective! Life is about making connections, stepping out of our comfort zone and broadening our horizons.

I have already traveled across Europe before and stayed in Hostels and with some friends, but this time I want to visit with a new perspective. I want to meet Locals and see the cities through their eyes, after all that is why I studied Anthropology, because of my natural curiosity for the all the diverse cultures around the world.

I will be traveling Europe from October to December to look at possible graduate programs I want to apply to/ do some interviews for others I have already applied to as well as look for possible cities I might want to move to in the upcoming year. Hence is why I would prefer not to stay in a Hotel or hostel though hostels are always a fun time haha.
