About Me

ABOUT ME

I love to meet new people and experience new cultures. When traveling I would rather exeperience daily life as locals do instead of sticking to tourist destinations.
I love to laugh and anyone who knows me would say I love to talk!

I have a passion for people of all different backgrounds and that is why I study International Relations :)

Me gusta conocer y hablar con los personas de culturas differentes.
J´aime beaucoup parler avec les personnes des autres cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couch surfed with my friend Thea for summer months in 2012 as we backpacked through 15 countries in Europe :) It was the best experience I have ever had! I think this is such a great way to meet people and exchange traveling experiences.

I can't host right now because I am living in a basement studio in Ottawa attending law school but as soon as my accommodation allows I would love to host more surfers here in Canada! I want to give back for all the generosity I have experiences from CouchSurfing hosts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just started couch surfing in May and have had only amazing experiences meeting amazing people! This is such a great way to connect:)

Interests

I am a student so I appreciate my education and spend a lot of time studying. I love to explore new places and spend time outside. I dance, play volleyball and play piano.

Most of all I love to spend time with my family and friends and have the opportunity to meet new people.

Estudio mucho y me gusto viajar a los nuevos lugares.
Je suis etudiante et pour sa raison j´aime etudier. Aussi jaime voyager et decouvrir les nouvelles parties du monde.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jane Austen books, Harry Potter, Inception movie, any comedy - I love to laugh!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are many moments like these but most recent would be the breathtaking view in Tarragona, Spain. And a festival in Barcelona called Carrefoc which was a flaming fire parade!
