Sobre mí

I am a passionate outdoor adventurer, an enthusiast for a deeper purpose, and a lover of travel with an immense curiosity for different cultures all over the earth. I'm from Colorado but currently reside in Los Angeles, California.

I have a love for people, adventure, and exploration. I always try to experience different cultures and broaden my world view. I love meeting new people, hearing their stories, and sharing great experiences.

I love being active and doing anything outdoors (hiking, climbing, canyoning, swimming, scuba, sight seeing, sports games). Some nights I love going out to bars or dancing in clubs but I also appreciate just staying home to talk and play games. Deep, insightful conversations is something I also end up doing with people. Whatever I do, I will have a great time. I'm flexible, easy to get along with, and always open to new experiences.

My friends describe me as an outgoing, fun, and energetic girl who's always caring about others. I'm respectful, kind, independent, open-minded, and easy going. I’ve also been told by many that I am way more mature for my age and am constantly mistaken for being older than I really am. I'm passionate about making connections with people and hearing their stories. I am a strong believer in the idea that you can always learn something from someone. To me, people are fascinating and I want to learn more about YOU!!

What I expect from hosts: Share some laughs, stories, experiences, and great memories!!!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

My whole life I have always loved and been fascinated with people. The world is full of different types and I want to meet them all. I hope I have something to offer my hosts, but I can promise this: I will always have a fun, positive, and respectful attitude!

I could of stayed in hostels or hotels, but I want to make great memories with interesting people and see life through your lens.

Intereses

I’m the type of person that will say YES! I love going on spontaneous adventures and trying new things. More importantly I want to know what you and your friends do! I am always wanting to experience new things.

I love the outdoors so any activity outside is something I would love and have a great time doing it. I also LOVE to go dancing (two step, line dancing, swing, or any new dance I can be taught or easily pick up). But one of my favorite things to do is sitting around a bonfire, dinner table, or bar just talking and connecting with people. I love telling stories and having a great time.

Música, películas y libros

Too many movies to list! I have a deep appreciation for the classics, a weird passion for musicals, as well as a love for any and all Disney movies.

Music usually depends on my mood and the vibe. I usually enjoy all types of music and I would love to hear the music you listen to..

Reading feeds my soul. I own an obnoxious amount of books and my collection will never be finished. I am always wanting book recommendations so please tell me your favorite book!

Algo increíble que he hecho

Alpine hiked in the Swiss Alps with a broken hiking boot for 14 hours.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I am a person who is full of fun facts, random knowledge, and some wisdom too.

I'm a professional speaker, teacher, and coach. My job is somewhat hard to describe but I teach what they call “soft skills” in the US and help people to become masterful communicators.
Communication extends far beyond what you say with words alone. What you wear, the way you stand and walk, your facial expressions, and gestures all say something about who you are, before you utter a single word. And when you do speak, your tone, choice of words, accent, distinctive cadence, and speaking style adds to the picture.
I work with adults to help improve interpersonal communication and presentation skills in cooperate trainings or professional development. But my PASSION and what I mainly love to do is work with kids/teens to help them discover, develop, and unleash the voice they have inside them.
I have a deep knowledge of verbal vs nonverbal communication, reading body language, understanding vocal variety, psychology, and behavioral science. If you’re interested in any of this, let me know! I am also curious to see the differences between American communication styles and the rest of the world.

I believe in learning always. I want to know about you and understand your point of view. Help me see the world in a different light. Please teach me anything: songs, games, cooking, culture, language, or any skills you have. life long learner.

I LOVE sharing stories, food, and drinks.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I can teach you about American culture, share stories, have deep conversations, or play different games. I can talk about anything really! Ask me any question and I’ll have an answer.

Most importantly: I can offer a fun and new experience. I always have a positive attitude and want to really get to know you!
