About Me

I’m an adventurous and open-hearted traveler who thrives on new experiences and connections. My ultimate dream is to explore every corner of the world, not just as a visitor, but as a local—immersing myself in the culture and living life, even if just for a day, as the people there do. I believe the best way to truly understand a place is through its people, and I’m eager to learn from every journey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing to connect with like-minded travelers, share stories, and experience the world through the eyes of locals. For me, it’s not just about finding a place to stay—it’s about building meaningful connections and immersing myself in the cultures of the places I visit.

Interests

I’m all about exploring the world, whether it’s through a good book, an epic hike, or gliding on ice skates. I love diving into the history of the places I visit, especially through art and history museums. Whether it’s a full-on sports day or the wildest party, I’m here for all of it—and maybe a museum visit in between!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book is Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. When it comes to music, I enjoy all genres. As for movies, I’m a huge fan—I especially love discovering new or lesser-known films

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left my job in the USA to pursue my passion for traveling the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m passionate about learning from other cultures and would love to share my knowledge of Mexican cuisine with you. I can teach you some Spanish, and if you’re really special, I might even whip up some homemade guacamole for you

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer my hosts a taste of Mexican culture through authentic homemade dishes, like guacamole, and share stories from my travels. I’m also happy to help with anything around the house, and I can teach you some Spanish. Above all, I bring a positive attitude and a genuine curiosity to learn from and connect with new people.
