Hi there! My husband and I are Americans living in Spain with our two cats. Our plan is to explore the country, soak up the culture, improve our Spanish and drink as much wine as we can. We love Spain and are so happy to be able to live here!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have traveled quite a lot in my life and have relied on the kindness of strangers throughout. I'd love to be able to "pay it forward" and extend a warm bed to a weary traveler. Plus, I love to meet international and well-traveled folk. Hearing how different life can be in other countries and how people think in other countries is one of my favorite topics of conversation.
