CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to travel as much as possible and grow as an extremely cultured person. I want to eat crazy foods, jump off waterfalls and out of airplanes, I want to be excited!

ABOUT ME

I am a senior at the University of Nebraska Lincoln where I study secondary Spanish Education and ESL education. I also spent 2 years studying at the Tec de Monterrey in Queretaro, Mexico.

I pretty much grew up in Omaha ,Nebraska but my grandparents house in Fort Worth Dallas seems more like home. While I respect the values of the Midwest I can't wait to get the hell out! My weakness is a Spanish speaking country,so hopefully in 3 years that's were you'll find me.

I am currently applying for a Fulbright scholarship in Brazil and after that I would love todo the Peace Corps.

I absolutely love music...anything from electronica, reggaeton, bachata, and hip hop...anything I can shakemy ass to!

PHILOSOPHY

Grow from my mistakes, spend time with people who really love me and never give up an opportunity because of fear.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am somewhat new to couch surfing, but I hope to start hosting as soon as I get back to Nebraska in August.
As of now I will be couch surfing myself! I would also like to start planning hiking/biking groups in the Omaha/Lincoln area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Through this site I have stayed at a couple houses in Ecuador. It's always exciting to stay with someone else and experience how they have adjusted to the foreign culture.
During my 2 years studying abroad I spent a lot of time with Mexican host families...wow did I learn a lot.
