CURRENT MISSION

learn languages, meet people, and party!

ABOUT ME

I currently live in Madrid, but I'm moving to Barcelona in September to get my masters! I love meeting people from other countries and learning languages. I also love trying new foods: I haven't found anything I don't like to eat yet.

I love to listen to metalcore, deathcore, and street punk, but I'm pretty open to a lot of music. I think I may drive my roommates crazy at times with all the "screaming" coming from my records ha.

I also love reading, some of my favorites are Catcher in the Rye and On the Road.

I love playing the guitar (and I'm currently learning how to play jazz manouche!), skateboarding, and just going out, drinking, and partying with my friends.
Like we always say here in Madrid:
En invierno: Siempre es verano cuando hay tinto de verano
En verano: No hay verano sin tinto de verano

I love languages, I studied Spanish in college which is why I wanted to move to Spain. Now, I'm studying French and I'm starting to realize that it wasn't Spanish that I fell in love with, it was just learning languages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once, I went to Rome without hostel, just a plane ticket, and I ended up spending the entire trip with 11 other girls that I met randomly in the airport. They even had a hostel and when we got there, there remained one bed and I got it! What an amazing and spontaneous weekend!

Another time, I went to Panama City, Panama (not Florida) and was nearly taken to jail for not having papers on me when we hit some sort of military checkpoint coming out a sketchy neighborhood. Fortunately, my rough Spanish on the time was enough to understand, "How much money have you got?" To pay off the guards. But good thing my bargaining skills in Spanish are sharp and they fortunately let us go without even having to pay. Needless to say, we carried our passports everywhere we went after that.
