Backpacking through Eastern Europe by Interrail this summer after graduating with a BA in Berlin. I'm Spanish-American and love traveling, meeting new people, and experiencing new cultures. Although travel has always been highly valued in my family, this is my first time truly traveling on my own, and so far, I'm loving it. I grew up backpacking with my parents around the world and am quite experienced traveling through hostels and couch surfing.

I'm traveling on a budget but have ambitious plans to see as much as possible, and the cost of a place to sleep is one of the biggest limitations. If anyone can host me, it would greatly help me achieve my travel goals. I can assure you, you will not regret hosting me as I am very clean, a fairly good cook, can engage in a wide range of conversation topics and can promise great vibes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used couch surfing several times as a kid with my parents and had kinda forgotten about the site but recently met some lovely people at hostels who recommended I give it a try again now that I'm traveling on my own.
