I am an auxiliar/English language assistant from the states living and working in Madrid for the year. I am a very active person and I love to run, hike, climb, go camping, ballroom dance, and explore. I also love music and I have been to hundreds of live performances and music festivals. Estoy aprendido español y tengo ganas de concocer gente en Madrid y en Europa este año!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favorite part of traveling is meeting people, in Madrid and while traveling in other parts of Europe. I'm excited to learn new things, meet cool people, and have some adventures.
