CURRENT MISSION

to learn languages, discover cultures, make friends around the world, meet new people

ABOUT ME

I have used couchsurfing to attend group meetings while living in Spain and Orange County, California and also briefly lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I have met some of the coolest people and awesome friends and I believe it is the greatest community for meeting like-minded travelers and open-minded adventurous people.

I have also used it to meet up with locals while traveling. I have not used it to crash on many couches. I am hoping to do so more in upcoming trips. I hosted some people in the past with roommates when I lived with other couchsurfers but currently my roommate/living situation does not allow me to host.

I love meeting new people, learning new languages and improving my language skills. I'm very active and I love to go to the gym, go hiking, biking, capoeira, salsa dancing, running, yoga, etc. I also love going on walks, especially to explore new parts of whatever town I'm living in, and hiking in nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For me the best part about traveling is meeting new people from all around the world, and deeply immersing myself in the local culture, tradition and lifestyle. I find couchsurfing to be the best network to help me do so, whether it is meetup groups or staying with individual members.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have mostly used CS to meet new people and make friends, and also occasionally find a place to stay. It's a great way to meet like-minded people from all over the world and have fun, and I hope to have many more positive experiences with CouchSurfing! :)
