CURRENT MISSION

to find happiness in everything that I do!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel, teach, and learn about other cultures. In the free time I have, I like to read, do yoga, do crossword puzzles, play the guitar and piano, and watch documentaries. I'm very open-minded and love learning and absorbing as much about the world as possible. I'm more of an introvert than an extrovert, and spend more time than the average person reflecting and musing about everything. I love to have fun and am trying to learn to live in the moment!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My sister and I couch surfed for the first time while we were backpacking through Europe, and had an amazing experience. The people we met were truly wonderful, kind people and welcomed us into their homes and took the time to talk to us and show us their cities. We couch surfed again in San Juan, PR and had an equally wonderful time.

Interests

I love to read, anything and everything. I love all kinds of music, especially Spanish rock and indie folk. I'm really interested in foreign languages, immigration, and education policies, not to mention cooking delicious food, going for long walks, and translating songs from Spanish into English and vice-versa.
