About Me

CURRENT MISSION

So it goes.....

ABOUT ME

I love to travel. And So when I graduated College, I left on a trip to backpack South America. In the midst of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, I met my boyfriend, a Rosarino.... He brought me to Rosario and Ive been here ever since. And now I teach English and write. But I will be picking up and backpacking again this summer in Argentina and Chile.... so here we go again!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed in Brazil and Ecuador and would be happy to host anyone here in Rosario, Argentina, once I actually get a couch. Although I do have a mattress that I can put in the extra room.... Everyone I met couchsurfing was amazing and unbelievably helpful. I loved every experience I had!

Interests

Reading, writing, hiking, snowboarding, rafting, surfing, kayaking, walking, running, architecture, film, photography, music, art, sculpture, digital media, traveling, any extreme sport (I havent done them all yet, but I am willing to try any) talking, learning about other cultures, experiencing, laughing and above all, enjoying life.
Plus, I am a huge foodie. I love trying all different types of foods and then trying to learn how to cook them myself. I will try anything once.So foods from all cultures and with all shapes and forms are definitely a passion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Machu Picchu was pretty amazing to see. I think the vastness of Machu is just incredible, especially just being there in general is like this surreal experience.
But I think the most amazing thing I've done so far, is build a life in Argentina on my own. Picking up and leaving the states to experience life in another country has been the most helpful for me to grow as a person and learn about myself....I left everything I knew and loved back in the US and built up an entire home in a place I had never known before. It has been quite a trial, but it has been the most rewarding thing in my life thus far.
