About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling the world in little bits now that I have a full-time job (that I do love)

ABOUT ME

I am very friendly and open to new things. I love dancing, especially latin, swing & belly dancing. I also enjoy listening to all types of music, horse back riding, and exploring. I started couchsurfing in 2010 while studying abroad and try to do so once in a while now that I am back. I really enjoy the connections you make in staying with someone and learning about them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have moved back to NYC where cost of living is much higher so I can only host in my living room when it's not rented (aka on short notice) but am happy to show you the Cuban salsa scene!

I do not host people without references.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

PLEASE send me requests using the couchrequest button and not messages. I rarely answer messages as they are hard to keep organized.
Also, please do not send me a message for days I specified as unavailable (unless you mention having seen the unavailable dates and are just double checking or something) Thank you! :)

Meaghan and I visited Dublin, Oxford, Edinburgh, Rome and Dusseldorf through couchsurfing.

My former housemate, Matthias, and I hosted people in our Cadiz apartment. Since Spain, I have surfed less but have a little in the US and South America.

Interests

horse-back riding, dancing, ice skating, climbing up walls/mountainy things (I don't actually know how to professionally mountain climb but I enjoy my version), tree climbing, eating, traveling, trying new things, attractions, shopping, swimming, snowboarding et al.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Caving adventure in Puerto Rico. I jumped into a lake in the cave while it was pitch black. It was exhilarating.

I also walked to Chile from Argentina, camped overnight, and walked back. The views were breathtaking.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some salsa dancing and basic bachata. I would like to learn everything (cooking, other forms of dancing, new adventure-y sporty things, songs, instruments, languages, about cultures, etc.) I hope to share my enthusiasm!

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, France, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Peru, Portugal, Puerto Rico, Rwanda, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland, Uganda, United Kingdom, Uruguay

Countries I’ve Lived In

Argentina, Spain, United States
