Hello!
I am an adventurous, outdoorsy girl who grew up in the mountains of Montana ( near Canada for those of your who don't know). I love meeting people and experiencing things off the beaten path.
Fall of 2015, I set off on the adventure of a lifetime to get my TESOL certification and teach English in Thailand! After Teaching for 8 months, I traveled around SEA for about 6 weeks before heading back to the US to work in Alaska for a Salmon fishing season. Last fall, I set off again, this time for Spain, where I am currently living and teaching English.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing so that I can find people to meet up with who know the local ins and outs of a place. I would much rather spend some time in a place getting to know real people, than be shuffled around with a tour group.

Interests

Like many people on here, I have a large variety of interests!
Top of my list would have to be anything to do with water- I love white water rafting back home, I recently got PADI certified, and I also love a good day on the beach
I am into bikes, hiking, reading, and pretty much everything else under the sun.

• reading
• traveling
• socializing
• hiking
• beaches
• mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

If I had to pin down my musical taste, I would probably have to say Indie music. But I love the classics as well, and I can get down to just about anything. .
I love watching movies on a nice relaxing day, but I would much rather be outside doing something!
I love to read, it is probably my favorite hobby. Traveling is hard because there isn't enough room in my backpack for all of the books I want to bring!
I am huge geek for Song of Ice and Fire.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a whim, I sold 75% of my things, quit my jobs and I moved 8,000 miles away from home to teach English in Thailand. It has been the best thing I have ever done for myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have spent a lot of my time in the past 10 years working with kids, and that is my passion. I love learning new things from anybody that enters my life, especially if they can shift my thinking about something.
I am avid adventure enthusiast, and I love to go out of my comfort zone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share good stories and corny jokes. I am the QUEEN of puns. I am open minded, and I like to think I am a pretty friendly person.
