CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying living in Spain, trying to live an unconventional life and the constant journey for personal growth

ABOUT ME

I have been living in Madrid for the past 3 1/2 years. I also lived in Southern Spain for a year during college. Living abroad and traveling has been the most important experience of my young adult life and has helped me to become the person that I've always wanted to be. It has given me great confidence to know that I can be independent and successful living in another country with a different language. I really enjoy learning, especially what you can learn through others. People make the experiences...not so much the places..

PHILOSOPHY

Learning should be constant and daily!

Meeting new people renews your life and your city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to Couchsurfing...I have friends that are hosts in Madrid and really enjoyed the sense of community among travelers and what you can learn from the experiences and backgrounds of others. I hope that my experiment in this will be successful! For now I would be happy to show people around Madrid. I am always trying to help lost travelers on the street or in the subway. You have to help your fellow man or woman!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hopefully it will be positive!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Move to a foreign country without having studied the language for quite a few years and the satisfaction in becoming successful there.

Teach, Learn, Share

As an English teacher I asked which topics students wanted to learn about in the new year...I loved that they wanted to learn more about b/w photography, manual cameras and PhotoShop. Ask away! I can also teach you about Spanish history or film. I enjoy language exchanges especially from English to Spanish and all of the expressions you can discover! I love to cook and experiment!
