I'm a Peace Corps Volunteer in Paraguay working in sustainable agriculture development. I'm originally from Washington State, US, but I've been living in Paraguay for about a year and a half now. I love traveling around South America and am looking forward to opening my home to couchsurfers as soon as it's suitable!

Soy una Voluntaria del Cuerpo de Paz (EEUU) en Paraguay trabajando en desarrollo agrícola sostenible. Crecí en Washington, EEUU, pero ya hace un año y medio màs a menos que vivo en Paraguay. Me encanta a viajar por Latina America y quiero aceptar couchsurfers en mi hogar cuando tengo la oportunidad!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I'm a volunteer, I'm on a tight budget, but I still want to travel as much as I can while working in South America.

Porque soy una voluntaria, no tengo muchos recursos para viajar, pero quiero viajar tanto como es posible mientras que estoy trabajando acá en el Sur America

Interests

I love hearing people's life stories. I'm insanely passionate about social justice and sustainability. I document my life through art journaling. I love learning to play musical instruments and have played the piano for thirteen years. Some of my essays have been published in magazines. I'll go anywhere I can get my hands in the soil. I have six brothers that mean the world to me.

Me encanta escuchar las historias de las vidas de otras personas. Tengo mucha pasión para la justicia social y la conservación ambiental. Documento mi vida en un diario de arte.

Tengo sies hermanos, y son mi mundo.
