Hi, my name is Sofia. I grew up on Kent Island, Maryland, but most of my family live in England and Costa Rica, so traveling has always been a big part of my life. I transferred to University of California Santa Cruz a few years ago and got my degree in Psychology. I will be continuing my studies in Maryland to get my art degree in the next year.
I feel like I do my best when I'm put out of my comfort zone, so change to me is always embraced with optimism and trust that I will come out better in the end.
I love to paint and see live music, and dance!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going on a road trip from California back to my home town in Maryland, and thought this would be a great way to meat new people along the way!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved cross country with everything I owned in my tiny car in 6 days a few years ago. Now I'm doing the same thing, but taking my time to see what America has to offer!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a lot about art and art history. I also like a lot of music and enjoy sharing and listening to new music. I usually have some kind of instrument or something to draw with in hand!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a lot of art that I'll be traveling with and would be happy to give away some prints in exchange for a stay! I'm easy to talk to and love visiting places the locals like to go to.
