About Me

Travels and laughter, please.

I am a very open-minded individual, at least I'd like to believe so. I'm currently studying to earn my PhD in Microbiology in Oregon, though I am originally from New Mexico. I love pez, cuttlefish, and the sun. I'm very laid-back, love to laugh, and if you have a good sense of humor we will probably get along just fine.

I always drive out of the city to see meteor showers and make wishes.

I also love bugs and spiders... a lot. They are kind of my thing.

If you would like to surf, please send me a couchrequest, not a message. I do not get notifications about messages and will likely see it too late.

I truly feel that every person you meet in your life has something to teach you, and that you are changed by them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly surfed in Europe, hosted in Burque and California a few times!

Baking, futbol...

I love a good conversation, meeting new people, and visiting new places. I am a beekeeper as well, and I love bugs, especially bees and spiders. I love a little bit of everything, I suppose.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The moments that I find are the best are when I am on a bus and I get that "bus feeling"... you know, when you're traveling somewhere new, and you're so content to be going on an adventure and life is perfect just where you're sitting. I love that feeling.
