ABOUT ME

I enjoy dancing, singing, food, art, traveling, and having a good time with friends and family. I love to talk, and I also love to listen. I studied philosophy, but my real passion is sociology, learning about people and how they live. I collect books that I buy in thrift shops. My favorite things about traveling are meeting new people and seeing the local parks and architecture, getting to know the local flavor, if you will.

I have a boyfriend, who I love very much, and I´ll be moving to Mexico to be with him in October. So I'll be back soon, better than ever!

PHILOSOPHY

Tough one.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now, I've been meeting awesome people across Europe and inviting them to come stay with Luis and me in Mexico; so when I get to Mexico, hopefully I'll have lots of company!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far every host that I´ve had has been wonderful! I found out about this site during finals and then I started traveling, so I haven't been able to host yet. I have had friends and family stay over with me in Philadelphia, though. (I studied in Philadelphia.)

I am fluent in Spanish and native in English. I can tell you all about traveling the US by Amtrak, the US rail system. I also can tell you all about New York City, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Buenos Aires, and all of the other places I have lived in! So soon enough, hopefully I'll have some interesting insights into living in Mexico.

West Philly is not a war zone. There are lots of beautiful neighborhoods in West Philly, including what I'd guess are some of the richest in the city (although those are, admittedly, the minority). What most people think of as West Philly also includes University City, the area around Penn, Drexel, USP and the other colleges that extends up to 50th st. Explore Spruce, Baltimore, and the other beautiful streets of UCity, and I promise you will come out alive, excited, and satisfied! Also, some of the best murals in the city are between 45th and 50th. (Murals from the Mural Arts Program COVER Philadelphia.)
