From a big family in Minneapolis. My mom prioritized travel growing up so me and my siblings were very lucky and have all continued to travel as adults. I've lived and worked in the US, Buenos Aires and Indonesia. Positano, Italy is my favorite city I've visited so far.

After spending most of 2016 in a tropical place I realized I wasn't meant for cold weather and moved to Southern California. Currently living in San Diego/Los Angeles.

I love to cook for people, share drinks with people, and learn about people. I work at a donut shop and as a nanny.

You can follow me on Instagram for a strange and mostly unflattering look into my life: therealdancemom_

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because what better way is there to see the world and meet its people?! I love to travel alone and am independent in most aspects of my life but I'm also very social and connect with people easily. To get to know a place you have to know it's people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to make perfect rice without a rice cooker, I want to learn your language and I'll share whatever I've got.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Remnants of my once fluent Spanish, a place to stay if I've got one when you're in San Diego, food, music and laughter.

I will definitely cook vegetarian food for you if you'd like.
