Ever since my 11-month exchange program in high school, I have always been passionate about traveling and meeting people from different cultures. I love trying new foods and hearing people's life stories. I also enjoy hiking, listening to music, learning new languages, and watching the sunset.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a college student, I am on a tight budget, but I still want to explore new places. I also love to meet locals who know all the best spots to visit and can teach me about their culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are too many amazing things that I have done to just pick one. So here are a few. I have gone sandboarding, hiked Machu Picchu, swam with piranhas in the Amazon river, and played with pet sloths.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been working at the IT Helpdesk at my university over the last three years. So I could fix, or attempt to fix, any technological problem you may have while I stay with you. Free tech support!

I have also been a private Spanish tutor over the last three years, and I would be more than happy to teach you.

I also love to listen to people's life stories and share my own stories of adventures in South America.

Although I am not the most experienced chef, I would be happy to cook a meal with or for you.
