Just finished my Masters in Biomedical Sciences in Miami area and am now living back in Southern California. Love to travel, try new foods, anything with fitness and meeting new people and also love love learning about new cultures.

****NOW, a public service announcement*****

So a big part of me hates to even have to say this but in my short time on CS I’ve already noticed that some people seem to get what is an incredible travel community opportunity mixed up with Tinder, it's a pity that some people ruin the real meaning of couch surfing - it's a cultural exchange only and gaining new friendship around the globe.

COUCH SURFING is NOT a dating website.

so I will not ever accept an invitation to stay or meet up / with anyone who thinks they can use CS in such a way.
NO CREEPS. PERIOD. *******************
Plus, I won't reply to your messages saying just "hi" and I will not reply if you have no references, nor will I accept friend requests if we haven't met. Also, if you are hosting me, please know your boundaries, which doesn't mean you can try and get with me. This is for friendships not mating, so please realize the difference. Thank you (:

I use CS because I'm still traveling around solo and I'm looking to meet people, discover new cultures and learn about life in cities and towns I’’m visiting. If you’re like me, then by all means, let’s meet up.
