I'm a fresh college graduate who majored in Biology and minored in Public Health and French. Originally I come from the Los Angeles area. My parents are from Mexico. I feel relatively new to couchsurfing and look forward to making the most of it. Since I only have an amophous idea of what to do with my life I've decided to spend my first year after college working my way around the world. I think I'd like to stay in LA for a year afterwards, and lately I've been thinking of going to med school in my thirties or something. But as I like to say "If you want to make god laugh, tell him your plans."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be able to meet locals and exchange thoughts and experiences with them. The modernization of the timeless concept of community is an amazing thing and I hope to participate in it to the fullest extent of my abilities.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once did stand-up comedy in New York City....for five minutes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help CS folks practice their English, Spanish, and French. I can also teach you a few Mexican recipes. As far as learning I'd like to become better with my hands. In particular I want to learn more about sailing, cutting hair, gardening, and carpentry.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook! If you can show me the nearest (and cheapest) grocery store and allow me to use your kitchen I can make us a great meal since food is great way to bring people together.
